The Kansas City Chiefs defeated San Francisco, 28-18, last Sunday in a rematch of Super Bowl LVIII, the tenth regular-season rematch of the previous year’s Super Bowl.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid addressed reporters earlier in the week about his belief in what has made his team resilient and successful.
“I think it starts with your locker room, your coaches, and just how the guys like each other (and) like playing together, and then that whole trust thing that they develop with each other, I think is important,” said Reid. “Everything’s not going to be roses when you’re playing. You’re going to have ups and downs in games. Very few teams go and win every game during a season, so you literally take it game by game and make sure you’re taking care of business this week. I think the locker room has a big part of that (and) the coaches added too, with everything is a big part of that.”
Kansas City is the last remaining undefeated team in the NFL and the seventh reigning Super Bowl champion to begin the following season 6-0. They are the first since 2000, joining the 2019, 2015, and 2004 New England Patriots, 2011 Green Bay Packers, 2007 Indianapolis Colts, and 2000 St. Louis Rams.
