Head coach Andy Reid did his best to keep the Kansas City Chiefs players motivated after their 27-19 win over the Houston Texans. Reid congratulated his team on a job well done on both sides of the ball in his postgame speech in the Chiefs’ locker room after Kansas City’s victory on Saturday.
Then, Chiefs players broke out in a birthday chant for defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, who saw Kansas City extend its win streak to five games on the day he turned 65. Take a look at Reid addressing the team in the locker room in this video shared by the Chiefs’ official Twitter account:

While Kansas City’s postgame jubilation was certainly warranted after its hard-fought win, the Chiefs will have little time to celebrate their latest accomplishment. Kansas City is set to face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day in Week 17 with a chance to clinch the AFC’s No. 1 playoff seed.
The coach of the Kansas City Chiefs fired a warning message to the Pittsburgh Steelers as Andy Reid calls for his players to maintain their high standards next time out after beating the Houston Texans on December 21. The defending Super Bowl champions won 27-19 at the Arrowhead Stadium to move past a resurgent CJ Stroud as they continued their unrelenting march to the 2024/25 NFL Playoffs on Saturday.
And there is no rest for the coaching staff either as they instantly go to work figuring out how to stop Russell Wilson and George Pickens’ Steelers side, who they face in Week 17 on December 25. But after Patrick Mahomes’ triumph against the Texans in Missouri, Reid made sure to praise the quarterback and the entire team after what he heralded as their finest performance of the season so far.
“All in all, I thought this was our best game,” Reid told reporters on December 21. “Offensively, defensively, and special teams-wise. “We’ve got to keep going, though, we’ve got a lot of room to improve. We’ve got to make sure that we keep doing that, and we’ve got a short turnaround to get that done against a good football team.”
