NFL News: Andy Reid gets real about Chiefs and referees in controversial win over Raiders
Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs got a huge win against the Las Vegas Raiders. However, there are still many doubts about this version of the Super Bowl champions.
Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs survived another thriller on Black Friday to beat the Las Vegas Raiders. It was a 19-17 victory over a division rival which gave the defending Super Bowl champions a playoff spot.
Now, in one of the most impressive streaks in NFL history, they have won 14 consecutive one-score games. However, the big question is if that will be enough down the road.
Before the game, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs were 12-point favorites, but, as it often happens in such great rivalries, Antonio Pierce and his players showed a massive amount of courage.
What is the Chiefs record right now?
The Kansas City Chiefs have an 11-1 record and officially became the first team to clinch a berth for the playoffs. Nevertheless, following all the celebrations, Andy Reid talked about the offensive struggles during the game.
“There are some good things. Most of all, the win was a positive here. These things are hard to get in this league, especially against this crew. They do a nice job against us. It seems like every time we play them it comes right down the end. We have to do better in the red zone. We were one for five. That’s not good enough. Take care of business there. The six penalties was not a positive either. We have to make sure we clean those things up. It’s hard to go backwards in this league and win games.”

About the final sequence which gave the Chiefs a win thanks to a controversial penalty and fumble, Reid didn’t have much comments. The referees called illegal shift when the play seemed to be dead by whistle. “Well, it wasn’t confusing from our standpoint. We were good with it. They had to clarify a couple of things, but, it was a fumble. They just wanted to make sure they had all the basis covered.”

NFL News: Patrick Mahomes puts the rest of the league on alert about Chiefs’ chances to win Super Bowl
Patrick Mahomes talked about the mounting pressure for the Chiefs as they’re currently not considered favorites to win the Super Bowl.
Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are trying to win their consecutive Super Bowl, but, even as defending champions, a lot of experts don’t believe they’re favorites.
Right now, the conversation is around other team like the Buffalo Bills, the Detroit Lions of the Philadelphia Eagles. Although the Chiefs have overcome a huge number of injuries, nobody is taking them seriously.
As a consequence, Patrick Mahomes admitted that he is indeed hearing all that noise in the NFL. Although they’ve been involved in 14 consecutive victories in one-score games, that doesn’t mean the Chiefs aren’t ready to fight for the title.
What is the Chiefs record now?
The Kansas City Chiefs have an 11-1 record and, if they win out, Andy Reid and his players will have home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Patrick Mahomes answered if there’s extra pressure this year for the dynasty because they will be judged as Super Bowl or bust.
“That’s the reason you play the sport. I’ve never had a team that I didn’t believe could win the Super Bowl. I don’t know what I would be doing and how I would be acting if we weren’t going to the playoffs. My goal at the end of the year is to win the Super Bowl and nothing else matters.”
