Andy Reid: I ‘Didn’t Coach Good Enough’ in Chiefs’ Super Bowl Blowout Loss to Eagles
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid took responsibility for his team’s 40-22 blowout loss to the Philadelphia Eagles during Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.
“Today was a rough day,” Reid said Sunday night. “We didn’t really play well in any of the phases. I didn’t coach good enough. They did a nice job.
“I’m proud of our guys, though, for the battle, the fight that they put in throughout the year, and all the games that they played here over the last few years.”
Reid continued: “We’ll learn from this. Like most games here, when you don’t do very well, you learn from it as a coach, you learn from it as a player, and you move on.”
The Chiefs fell short of becoming the first team to win three straight Super Bowls, but Reid said the blowout would have stung whether or not that record was on the line.
“You get this far, you’ve battled your tail off to get this far, very, very hard to do,” Reid said. “We spend a lot of time doing this. It’s not a hobby. We’re in it the whole way. Spent a lot of hours doing it, as players, as coaches.
“So it’s gonna hurt. They all hurt, when you get to this level, and these things happen, three-peat aside or any of that stuff. You get this far, and you don’t play as well as you want to, that hurts.”
The Chiefs struggled to overcome the Eagles’ defense from their first four-play possession.
Patrick Mahomes then threw his first playoff pick-six when he was picked off by Cooper DeJean in the second quarter.
The reigning Super Bowl champions were already facing a 34-point deficit by the time Xavier Worthy caught the team’s first score of the game on a 24-yard touchdown pass from Mahomes.
The Chiefs scored 16 points in the fourth quarter, but it was too little, too late for the defending Super Bowl champions as they were unable to overcome the deficit.
Reid won’t become the first coach to lead his team to three straight Super Bowls, but Sunday night will still put his name in the NFL’s record books. Super Bowl LIX marked the 45th playoff game Reid has worked in his 26-season NFL coaching career, moving him past former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick for the most of all time.
