Andy Reid: Chiefs Wouldn't Make Same Call as 49ers on Super Bowl OT Coin Toss

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid told reporters Monday morning that his team would have kicked the ball off to start overtime of Super Bowl LVIII if given the option.

"That can go either way," Reid said per ESPN's Jeff Darlington. "We would have kicked the ball off. We had already gone through all of that. We had it all mapped out."

The Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers ended regulation Sunday tied at 19 apiece. That signaled the first utilization of the NFL's new playoff overtime rules, which were implemented before the 2022 season.
