Approximately 13 hours after the conclusion of the Chiefs’ embarrassing 43-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night, coach Andy Reid did the best he could to put his team’s subpar performance heading into the bye week behind him.
Reid did this by accepting full responsibility for the loss, which is par for the course for him. He’s been a head coach in this league for 18 years, and one of the reasons his players play hard for him – remember, the Chiefs scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns on Sunday when they were down by 36 points — is because he regularly takes those bullets.
