Andy Reid got his 300th career coaching victory with the Chiefs\u2019 23-14 win over the Texans on Saturday, and my colleague Vahe Gregorian had a nice look at his remarkable career. What people may not realize is that most of those victories with the Chiefs were because of NFL game officials.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m kidding, but, phew, there was a lot of chatter about how NFL referees continually help the Chiefs following KC\u2019s AFC Divisional Round playoff victory.<\/p>\n
That bubbled up after former Colts and Buccaneers coach Tony Dungy shared a message Sunday about Reid on X.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s been a lot of conversation about the Chiefs win yesterday but I have to take my hat off to Andy Reid & the staff. 7 straight AFC Championship games is unbelievable,\u201d Dungy wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople don\u2019t realize how hard it is to get to one championship game. I coached with some great organizations and only got to 4 Championship games in 28 years. 7 in a row is hard to fathom. That is some tremendous coaching.<\/p>\n
\u201d A fan responded to Dungy by writing: \u201cGreat coach. But man, it helps when you\u2019ve got the refs in your back pocket, extending drives for you with bogus calls. Teams that turned the ball over 0 times and outgained their opponents by 100+ yards were 49-0 in playoff history. Until yesterday in KC. A coincidence I\u2019m sure.<\/p>\n
\u201d Dungy, who works for NBC Sports, was having none of that conspiracy talk and crushed that fan.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid any of those teams give up a long opening kickoff return, miss 3 kicks, have their QB get sacked 8 times and only score 12 points of their own?\u201d Dungy asked. Zing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
