Bill Belichick gives Andy Reid advice to help win historic three-peat and beat his NFL record ahead of Chiefs-Eagles
Andy Reid, the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, received some crucial guidance from Bill Belichick on how to beat his records and create NFL history.
After defeating the Buffalo Bills 32-29 on Sunday, the Chiefs secured their spot in the Super Bowl and will now play Reid’s old team, the Philadelphia Eagles, in a 2023 rematch.
The Chiefs manager will have the opportunity to do something that even New England Patriots icon Bill Belichick was unable to do when the game takes place on February 10 at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The legendary Patriots player was denied a historic three-peat in 2005 after losing in the divisional round after winning two straight Super Bowls in 2003 and 2004.
Reid is also on the verge of breaking another record that is held by the coach of North Carolina.
The 66-year-old defeated the Bills to record his 28th postseason victory with Kansas City, and he is now just three victories shy from Belichick’s record 31 postseason victories.

The Chiefs coach, however, maintains that he ignores all of history and concentrates on the here and now.
When Reid joined Belichick and Jim Gray on the Let’s Go podcast, he stated: “You don’t really think about all of stuff until the media questions you.
“All you’re doing is working to stop the next team and find the next first down.
“You’re so occupied with that that you might think, ‘Wow, that was something really great,’ when you look back on it after you’re retired or something.
“But right now, you’re into the guys, you’re into the team, trying to make the right calls, and so on.”
Belichick concurred with Reid, telling him that’s the key to NFL success.
The 72-year-old insists that considering all the hype that goes along with a major game is pointless.
The legendary Patriots player maintains that a coach should instead focus only on what is directly in front of him.
“That’s why you’re winning, Andy,” Belichick retorted. Don’t turn around. Avoid looking ahead.
“Remain present and continue to win. Just remain present; you’re doing a fantastic job.”
