In a conference in which the New England Patriots have dominated for two decades, seeing a team featuring a beloved head coach in Andy Reid, one of the league’s most popular players in Patrick Mahomes and a team on a 50-year Super Bowl drought come out of the AFC is a breath of fresh air.
Soon, we’ll get to see Mahomes and that Reid-designed offense show their stuff in Miami as well.
Twitter reacts to Chiefs making the Super Bowl
Judging by the reaction the Chiefs got on Twitter simply by reaching the Super Bowl, they’ll have plenty of supporters.
Congrats to the @Chiefs

To my lifelong Kansas Citians & KC sports fans: From the bottom of my heart, I’m so happy for US. What a year. What a game. What a quarterback.
One more game to go... and then another 10-15 years of watching Patrick Mahomes play.— nick wright (@getnickwright) January 19, 2020

Congratulations @PatrickMahomes!! Can’t wait to see you compete on the biggest stage— Adrian Peterson (@AdrianPeterson) January 19, 2020
Things also quickly turned into an Andy Reid appreciation campaign, led by some of the coach’s former players. This will be the second Super Bowl of Reid’s two-decade head coaching career, and a chance at finally getting the ring that has eluded him for so long.

Andy Reid ended a 24-year Super Bowl drought in Philadelphia and a 50-year drought in Kansas City.

And with that Andy Reid doesn’t need to prove anything more. He’s a Hall of Fame coach.

Andy Reid is a Hall of Fame coach. But this photo tells you what kind of human being he is.
In November, he coached practice in KC, then flew to Philly for the induction of Donovan McNabb & Troy Vincent in the Phila. Sports HOF. Special.
Thrilled he’s heading for Super Bowl LIV pic.twitter.com/yVjpKCbLNf— Jayson Stark (@jaysonst) January 19, 2020
Gotta root for Andy Reid now!! Congrats to the @Chiefs https://t.co/lDc3n297Ds
