Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid was honored with a video montage during the 2020 ESPYs Awards show.
The annual show which typically recognizes excellence in sports performance took on a new format amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Not only did they make the switch to virtual, but they also shifted focus to highlight displays of service, perseverance, and courage from within the world of sports.
Notable Chiefs fans Eric Stonestreet, Rob Riggle, David Koechner and Heidi Gardner joined Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes and TE Travis Kelce on a Zoom call for the ESPYs show. Mahomes and Kelce broke the news that there would be no team awards this year due to the new format. The gang of actors and comedians, of course, feigned disappointment and anger until they learned that Chiefs HC Andy Reid would be honored by the ESPYs with a video tribute.
