NFL fans are in shock after an old Andy Reid story that resurfaced on social media today.

Andy Reid led the Kansas City Chiefs to their second consecutive Super Bowl championship last season, strengthening his case as the greatest offensive-minded head coach in NFL history.

Reid and quarterback Patrick Mahomes have fronted an offensive revolution in Kansas City, complete with never-before-seen plays and calls with funny names (see “Jet Chip Wasp” and “Corn Dog” in Super Bowls 54 and 57, respectively).

And yet, it still feels like Andy Reid finds more and more ways to blow our minds with some of his crafty and innovative offensive play calls.

The MLFootball X/Twitter account shared a tale of coach Reid once taking a play call from a janitor, and it had football fans in complete shock:

 

It’s indeed a true story, which Reid shared on the “Green Light with Chris Long” last summer.

Andy Reid said that on one occasion in his time with the Green Bay Packers (he was an assistant there from 1992 to ’98 with Brett Favre at quarterback), a janitor drew up a play call on a card. The Packers gave it a shot, and it resulted in a touchdown.

Just another story that proves the three-time Super Bowl-winning head coach is in his own class when it comes to play-calling on offense.

Andy Reid & Chiefs Are Going For First Super Bowl Three-Peat

The Chiefs’ victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 58 marked the first NFL repeat since the 2003 and ’04 New England Patriots. Up next, Reid and company will try to become the first team to win three straight Super Bowls.

Kansas City will open their season with a home game against Lamar Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens in the NFL Kickoff Game at Sept. 5 at Arrowhead Stadium. This will be a rematch of last year’s AFC Championship Game that Kansas City won 17-10 in Baltimore.

Kansas City Chiefs Sign All-American WR As Injuries And Major Question Marks Surround The Position

The Kansas City Chiefs had to make a move at the wide receiver position since it looks like they will be without Rashee Rice for some time.

The Kansas City Chiefs may be without Rashee Rice for part of the 2024 season as he is still facing legal trouble due to his alleged role in a multi-car collision in Dallas that injured at least four people in April.

The Chiefs drafted WR Xavier Worthy, an incoming rookie who is still learning the offense, so the team went out and made a signing at the position.

According to Aaron Wilson with KPRC, the Chiefs signed undrafted rookie free agent Kyle Sheets. Sheets played college football for Slippery Rock. He previously signed with the New Orleans Saints this spring, but the Saints waived him in June.

Slippery Rock’s website states he is a six-foot-four, 220-pound receiver who earned consensus All-American honors last season. He finished his career with 154 receptions and 29 receiving touchdowns.

He is a big target who could be handy for the Kansas City Chiefs as they wait for Rashee Rice to serve whatever suspension is handed down to him.

Amid this signing is a slew of injuries the team is dealing with as defensive end BJ Thompson has been placed on the non-football injury (NFI) list to start training camp, and four others, defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi, defensive end Charles Omenihu, left guard Joe Thuney and cornerback Jaylen Watson – are going on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list.

Kansas City Chiefs Coming Off Down Year That Still Led To Super Bowl Victory

In 16 games played last year, Mahomes completed 67.2 percent of his passes for 4,183 yards with 27 touchdowns and 14 interceptions, which were his lowest yardage output since 2019.

Their most notable and shocking moment was a Christmas Day loss to the Raiders at home.

The Kansas City Chiefs won the AFC West with an 11-6 record, but their only home game was a Wild card playoff matchup against the Miami Dolphins.

Even still, the team would win the Super Bowl.
