WATCH: Postgame speeches from Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes after win vs. Dolphins

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.

Their dominant triumph over Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill was a masterclass on both sides of the ball in absolutely brutal weather. Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes were seen giving post-game speeches after the impressive victory, congratulating their teammates on a job well done.

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.”
