Kansas City, MO – October 6, 2025
The usually calm and composed Chiefs head coach Andy Reid finally let his frustration show after a crushing 31–28 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars — a defeat marked by penalties, missed opportunities, and costly mistakes that left the reigning AFC champions reeling.
While many expected Reid to point fingers at the referees or the Jaguars’ aggressive defense, the veteran coach instead delivered a brutally honest assessment of his team’s performance.
“Whether I agree with them or don’t agree with them, it doesn’t matter,” Reid said, referring to the officiating. “They called them. So, you have that many penalties, you give up field position, you can out-stat them to death — but that doesn’t matter. It’s the score that matters.”
Reid’s words struck a chord with Chiefs fans, who watched their team dominate statistically — leading in total yards, first downs, and time of possession — but still walk away with the loss.
Social media exploded with frustration after the game, with one fan posting: “We beat ourselves again. Reid’s right — stats don’t mean a thing if you can’t finish.”
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes echoed his coach’s sentiment, saying the team needs to focus on execution, not excuses: “We’ve got to clean it up. No one’s handing us anything in this league.”
The loss drops Kansas City to 3–2 on the season and raises serious questions about discipline and consistency heading into a crucial stretch of the schedule.
Still, Reid made it clear that this team won’t crumble under pressure.
“We’ve been here before,” he added. “You learn, you adjust, and you respond. That’s what great teams do.”
💥 One thing’s for sure — the Chiefs might have lost the game, but Andy Reid’s message just lit a fire under Kansas City heading into next week. 🔥
