Chiefs’ Andy Reid Meets With His Former Eagles Players and Talks About Building Up to Super Bowl LVII

Share

Aside from “The Kelce Bowl,” this year’s Super Bowl has been regarded by fans as “The Andy Reid Bowl.”

Reid has led two teams to the Super Bowl in his 24 years as head coach, with his only win coming with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2019. But in 2004, Reid led his Philadelphia Eagles to the Super Bowl, ultimately losing to the New England patriots. in the end.

Reid has been the Chiefs’ head coach for 10 years, but for 14 seasons he was in Philadelphia coaching the Eagles, which is why fans think there’s some revenge in store for him on Sunday at State Farm Stadium.

On opening night of the Super Bowl, Reid, wearing a signature Chiefs Tommy Bahama jersey, was reunited onstage with some of his former players in Philadelphia as fans cheered as they hugged each other. His former players included Brandon Graham and Jason Kelce.

Michael Irvin asked Reid about this moment when his current and former teams collide in the biggest NFL game of the year.

“No, listen, it’s a great organization,” Reid said of the Eagles. “I spent 14 years there, man. I loved every minute. I’ve been in Kansas City 10 years, loved every minute. I’m proud of some of these oldies with the Eagles. I’m proud of my guys for the Chiefs. Come on.”

Make no mistake: Reid only cares about the Chiefs this week. He lost his most recent Super Bowl appearance to Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020, so he doesn’t want that sense of defeat to come back this time.

Because of his experience, Reid is trying to keep things as they are with his team this week.
