Chiefs' Andy Reid Won't Question 'Brilliant' 49ers HC Shanahan for Coin Flip Decision

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said he's "never going to question" fellow coach Kyle Shanahan after the San Francisco 49ers decided to start with the ball in overtime of Super Bowl LVIII.

Reid told reporters he's "not sure there's a right answer necessarily" in terms of starting overtime on offense or defense with the NFL's playoff-specific format.

"Ours ended up being the right one," he said. "That easily could have gone the other way. That's what we felt was the right thing to do. I'm never going to question Kyle because he's brilliant.
