Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy addressed his emotions typically following a game-winning drive or moment during his press conference on Tuesday.
“Well, it’s a phenomenal feeling to win, number one,” said Nagy. “I think that’s the initial part is as us being competitors, there’s so much time that goes into Monday through Saturday – Monday through Sunday when you put the game involved and you win in different ways. I think it’s been documented that we’ve been winning a lot of tight games and close games – final plays, and we’ve found ways.”
Nagy is grateful for the winning moments, but he continues to warn about the elite competition in the NFL. No game is guaranteed regardless of the record, and the Carolina Panthers matchup indicated the battles in each game.
“We always remind ourselves that it’s the NFL, it’s hard, and that you better enjoy it while you can, and that doesn’t mean (that) you can’t criticize yourself or want to be better,” said Nagy. “I think that’s a good thing, but we’re all very, very excited when we win, and that’s very important to have that.”
The Chiefs appreciate the thrilling victories, but the team is critical of their winning ways regardless of the AFC’s leading record.
