Travis Kelce - English
After a stinging 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid made one thing clear: this team isn’t wallowing in defeat. Instead, they’re using it as a catalyst for growth.
Reid has already taken steps to rejuvenate the roster, with an early focus on areas that faltered in the big game. But for Reid, the most significant changes have unfolded behind closed doors-within the team’s collective mentality.
“I think every coach will tell you that, but I think it is important that you keep growing,” Reid remarked in a recent media session.
“There are some lessons you can learn from that. I told you before, I thought that the attitude they had coming out of that, I looked for that. Are you gonna take responsibility? These guys took responsibility for it. That gives you an opportunity to improve.”
From Self-Reflection to Super Bowl Restoration
The Super Bowl defeat wasn’t just disappointing for the Chiefs-it was one of the most one-sided showings under Reid‘s tenure. Offense sputtered, defense was repeatedly outmaneuvered, and the team looked unprepared from the opening whistle.
For many franchises, such a loss could fracture locker-room cohesion. But Reid says his squad took accountability instead of casting blame.
“Coaches and players. If you come in and start pointing fingers at each other, you cannot grow. These guys have done that, and they had a great attitude this offseason.”
This accountability-first approach mirrors the culture Reid and quarterback Patrick Mahomes have nurtured over the past several seasons. It’s a system that has yielded three Super Bowl appearances and two titles in four years.
Offseason Moves Backing the Mindset
Kansas City didn’t just talk the talk-they walked it by addressing key weaknesses exposed in the Super Bowl.
The front office went to work in free agency and the draft to shore up the offensive line, a unit that failed to protect Mahomes and hindered the running game.
Teams added tackle Jaylon Moore and rookie Josh Simmons, while also re-signing veteran tackle Trey Smith and guard Joe Thuney.
Meanwhile, tight end Travis Kelce, coming off a quiet postseason, has trimmed 25 pounds, signaling his own commitment to bouncing back.
Coach Reid took the lead on contract restructures, reshaping deals for Patrick Mahomes and Chris Jones to free up approximately $49 million in cap space, a key move to finance these improvements without sacrificing competitiveness.
Even minor department updates hint at the level of detail Reid and General Manager Brett Veach are tackling.
Wide receiver Rashee Rice has matured into a vocal locker-room leader, supporting teammate Hollywood Brown-a small but telling sign of the squadra’s increasing depth and solidarity .
Eyes on 2026… and Beyond
Reid continues to express confidence in his squad as they wrap up Phase 3 of OTAs.
“It’s been a good turnout. The guys are working hard,” he noted. “I appreciate the improvement that they’re making, especially the young guys who are pushing through these things.
“It’s a good lead-up for them as they get ready for [training] camp.”
As the three-time defending AFC Champions prepare for Week 1 in Brazil, optimism runs high.
Offensive line fixes, Kelce‘s renewed focus, Mahomes‘s continued excellence, plus improved depth on both offense and defense appear to position Kansas City for a potent bounce-back.
But analysts remain cautious. After recent dynasties faltered following dominant runs, this offseason represents a fork in the road.
With Reid at the helm, known for avoiding complacency through self-reflection, and a roster retooled to meet challenges head-on, the Chiefs are making clear they intend to respond with dominance, not defeat.
As Reid put it after Super Bowl LIX: “Today was a rough day… We didn’t really play well in any of the phases. I didn’t coach good enough… We’ll learn from this.”
Whether that learning leads to a third consecutive title-or a repeat elite season-will unfold on the field. But between accountability, strategic growth, and roster investment, the Chiefs appear determined to turn last February into the ignition for a renewed dynasty.

Je to začátek přípravy. Vyhrálo se i v tomto složení. Je to nějaký ukazatel, jak hráči vypadají po prvním týdnu a únavě.
