Chiefs HC Andy Reid exuded confidence in locker room speech after win vs. Browns

See what #Chiefs HC Andy Reid told his players in the locker room after Kansas City’s Week 15 victory over the Cleveland #Browns.

The Kansas City Chiefs are 13-1 after their Week 15 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, and head coach Andy Reid was thrilled with the performance of his players.

Kansas City’s offense scored three touchdowns against reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett, and the Chiefs’ defense forced six turnovers.

Though Kansas City’s 14-point margin of victory was a bit underwhelming, the Chiefs currently hold the best record in the NFL, and Reid’s confidence in the team was palpable in his locker room speech after the game.

Take a look at this clip of Reid’s comments to his players after Kansas City’s win over Cleveland:

Chiefs fans can look forward to an exciting matchup against the Houston Texans in Week 16 and should expect to see Kansas City’s players put on a show as the team inches closer to clinching the No. 1 seed for the upcoming AFC playoffs in January.

Darren Rizzi is changing the Saints locker room layout

The Saints locker room used to be grouped by position groups until 2020 shook it up. Darren Rizzi is bringing it back as interim head coach:

Darren Rizzi’s first public move as New Orleans Saints interim head coach is to change the setup of the locker room back to how things used to be. Instead of being grouped by positions, players were just randomly placed at lockers throughout the locker room. You could have an offensive lineman next to a safety and wide receiver.

This began in 2020 due to the league’s COVID protocol. The thought process behind the alteration was logical. They didn’t want one player to pass it to the entire position group. Dennis Allen kept this going when he became head coach.

As time passed, this became the standard locker room layout and just never changed back until this week. The Saints locker room is once again sectioned by position groups in hopes of building more togetherness. We’ll see if it makes a difference.

Report: Chiefs WR Rashee Rice ‘walking about normally’ amid injury concerns

According to a report, #Chiefs WR Rashee Rice was seen “walking about normally” in Kansas City’s locker room on Thursday.

The Kansas City Chiefs still haven’t revealed key details about the knee injury that wide receiver Rashee Rice sustained in the defending champions’ win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.

While Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has made it clear that Kansas City is monitoring Rice, and that an update will be provided when the team is certain of his status, one member of the media had some good news to report on Thursday.

Pete Sweeney, Editor-in-Chief of Arrowhead Pride, told his followers on Twitter that he saw Rice “walking about normally” in Kansas City’s locker room this afternoon, and indicated that the star pass catcher was not in crutches.

Though Sweeney’s observation hardly indicates that Rice’s injury isn’t severe, it does bode well for the Chiefs that he can walk without assistance.

Stay tuned to see if Kansas City makes any further announcements about Rice’s injury status ahead of the Chiefs’ Week 5 matchup against the New Orleans Saints on “Monday Night Football.”

Broncos turned locker room into ‘Club Dub’ after upset win over Bucs

Let’s hope ‘Club Dub’ returns many times this season!

The Denver Broncos secured their first win of the 2024 NFL season on Sunday, a 26-7 upset victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

After the game, the Broncos transformed their locker room into “Club Dub.” Based on photos and videos posted on social media, it appears that the team brought in lighting, a smoke machine and a stereo system for the occasion.

“Oh, it was great,” quarterback Bo Nix said when asked what the locker room was like after his first win in the NFL. “Before the game, we wanted to hear the music and have a party. We played motivated today. We went out there and executed at a high level.

“I think that’s what it’s supposed to feel like. You get back in the locker room and everybody is really excited. You put so much into the week. You put so much effort, time [and] energy [in]. Those are what those moments are about. That’s what you want to get to. You want to get to those postgame celebrations.”

Denver safety Keidron Smith shared some behind-the-scenes footage on his Instagram page. Check it out, via @RespectMyCos on Twitter/X:

Denver fans will hope this is the first of many appearances for “Club Dub” this fall.

Tyrann Mathieu discusses why he’s excited to come to work every day

Tyrann Mathieu discussed why he’s excited to come to work every day, and the commitment he’s seen from his teammates in the Saints locker room:

https://twitter.com/SaintsFilmRoom/status/1836764411798700492

Tune into this one. New Orleans Saints safety Tyrann Mathieu recently joined the Richard Sherman Podcast to discuss many different talking points throughout his career in football.

It’s a wide-ranging conversation including last week’s Saints and Dallas Cowboys matchup, his time with the Kansas City Chiefs and LSU, what’s left for Mathieu to accomplish, and his current perspective on the Saints and how things feel in the locker room. One of the most intriguing takeaways from this interview was his viewpoint on the energy surrounding this team.

When asked about the Saints and the excitement building around them, Mathieu had quite a bit to say: “It’s a beautiful thing when your team is excited to come to work every day, I don’t think every NFL team has that, maybe some fans don’t understand what I’m talking about, but ya that matters. You can see the energy, the whole energy is different.”

Between the Saints dropping 40-plus points on their first two opponents and head coach Dennis Allen quoting superstar rapper Kendrick Lamar after wins, the vibes couldn’t be much more different from what we’ve seen in recent years. There’s a real surge of enthusiasm in what the Saints are working on, and Mathieu sees it at the facility every day.

“We took a lot of pride in this offseason, we had a lot of dudes show up for voluntary things, and that’s a big deal in 2024, this whole world is offering you free distractions, so it’s like, for guys to show up in 2024, that’s kind of a big deal,” Mathieu said. “You can just see a lot of guys, they’re committed. They recommitted. That’s fun to see, especially as a team captain, because I don’t necessarily have to give and ‘rah-rah’ speeches, because those don’t always work. But it’s been fun man, coming to work every day.”

This is especially heartening to hear from a long-time veteran who has been to a Super Bowl and won one, because he knows what winning culture looks like, and to have him see that level of energy and commitment from this roster to the vision of the New Orleans Saints, that’s special.

Samaje Perine says Chiefs ‘do a lot of winning’ during locker room interview

Samaje Perine told the media that the #Chiefs “do a lot of winning” during a recent locker room interview.

After the preseason, the Kansas City Chiefs acquired running back Samaje Perine to shore up the depth in their backfield.

A seasoned veteran, Perine gained 693 yards on 53 carries and 50 receptions during his time with the Denver Broncos last season and could be a boon for Kansas City’s offense if he can replicate his 2023 performance this year.

Perine was interviewed in the locker room on Monday and shared details about the process of signing with the club and how he feels joining the reigning Super Bowl champions.

Sports Radio 810 WHB shared this video of his comments in a post to Twitter:

Though he is expected to suit up for the Chiefs in their Week 1 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday, it remains unclear how much of a role Perine will play in Andy Reid’s offense.

Stay tuned to see if he gets any carries during his debut in Kansas City.

 

Louis Rees-Zammit answers questions from Chiefs locker room

Check out what Louis Rees-Zammit had to say when talking to the media in the #Chiefs locker room during a recent interview.

Kansas City Chiefs’ acquisition of ex-rugby player Louis Rees-Zammit made waves during the 2024 offseason, and while the Welshman adjusts to life on the American gridiron, his notoriety in Western Missouri is already growing.

Though he is still in the process of learning the game, Rees-Zammit has gotten experience as a returner and kickoff specialist in the preseason, proving that he can be more than a running back in the Chiefs’ Super Bowl defense campaign.

His role in Kansas City may be a work in progress, but judging from the following he gained at Chiefs training camp, the former rugger is on the fast track to becoming a fan-favorite.

Rees-Zammit was seen speaking to the media at Arrowhead Stadium after Kansas City’s narrow loss to the Detroit Lions last week in this video that was posted to the Chiefs Digest YouTube channel:

Expect to see Rees-Zammit in action during Kansas City’s matchup against the Chicago Bears on Thursday as the Chiefs look to finish their three-game preseason schedule with a win.

Raiders locker room repainted for Chiefs ahead of Super Bowl LVIII

The #Raiders’ locker room got a fresh coat of paint ahead of the #Chiefs’ matchup against the #49ers in Super Bowl LVIII.

The Kansas City Chiefs are set to play in Super Bowl LVIII against the San Francisco 49ers at the home of their bitter divisional rival Las Vegas Raiders, Allegiant Stadium.

While Las Vegas has yet to see a playoff game at their billion-plus dollar dome, Kansas City’s players are making themselves at home in the Raiders’ locker room, which was re-painted ahead of the February 11 championship matchup.

Adorned with an arrowhead and Lombardi Trophy iconography, the new look in Las Vegas’ locker room was called “the ultimate indignity” by one account in Sin City on Twitter.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Chiefs are likely to feel at home when they face San Francisco at Allegiant Stadium. Kansas City has never lost a game in the impressive arena and can push their record at the venue to 5-0 with a win over the 49ers.

Expect the Chiefs to do everything they can to keep their perfect record intact during Super Bowl LVIII.

The Kansas City Chiefs earned a gritty road playoff win for the first time in the Patrick Mahomes era on Sunday night when they traveled to Orchard Park, New York to face off against the Buffalo Bills.

While the outcome of the matchup was decided by a missed field goal by Bills kicker Tyler Bass in the game’s final minutes, Kansas City put together a dominant performance against Buffalo in all four quarters.

Chiefs players were on cloud nine in the locker room after their hard-fought victory and were seen celebrating their latest accomplishment in a video posted to Twitter by the team’s social media team.

Travis Kelce, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Drue Tranquill, and Patrick Mahomes can all be seen embracing and congratulating each other on a job well done, clearly excited that they had pulled off the playoff upset.

Their work is far from over, though, as Kansas City is now set to face the Baltimore Ravens in their sixth-consecutive AFC Championship Game appearance next week.

Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes gave tremendous locker room speeches after the #Chiefs’ win over the #Dolphins on Saturday night.

The Kansas City Chiefs earned their first win of the 2023 AFC Playoffs on Saturday night by defeating the Miami Dolphins on a bitterly cold night at Arrowhead Stadium.

While the Chiefs’ opponent for the Divisional round of the playoffs hasn’t yet been determined, Kansas City’s tremendous showing against the Dolphins will ensure that the reigning Super Bowl champions have a wind at their backs next week.

Both Reid and Mahomes seemed confident in the team’s ability to continue competing for a ring after their Wild Card win. The reigning MVP said it best in this video, ending his comments with an elated message:

“We ain’t done.”
