The entire build-up to the Super Bowl has been completely different this season due to the coronavirus pandemic. The Kansas City Chiefs aren’t traveling to Tampa until Saturday, and the “Opening Night” media day has been reduced to a bunch of Zoom calls with reporters.
And while this year’s Opening Night didn’t bring the typical circus atmosphere, it wasn’t without its quirks.
In order to give the players and coaches a TV-ready appearance, they were set up with some ring lighting on their end of the Zoom call. We could see what that looked like from Tom Brady’s perspective.
But someone didn’t account for the reflection on Andy Reid’s glasses because the end result was wild.

Andy Reid trying to pretend like that isn’t a ring light reflection. That’s just his laser focus that’s about to shred Bowles with Tyreek pic.twitter.com/Qm3ygJFB8j

He’s staring into our souls through Zoom.
From fogged face shields to those ring lights, Reid has had quite the experience this past year with reflective surfaces.
