Thankfully, everything went according to plan. So, to celebrate Santa — head coach Andy Reid — stopped by the Chiefs’ locker room and delivered a delightful gift. “Proud of you, dudes,” he told a group of hyped players. “For the present, you get home-field advantage.”

Just one year ago, the Kansas City Chiefs fell on Christmas Day and used the loss as a rally through the AFC playoffs en route to the Super Bowl championship. Kansas City had to win two games on the road to get to the Super Bowl.

Andy Reid was in a festive mood after his Kansas City Chiefs topped the Pittsburgh Steelers 29-10 on Christmas Day. After the game, in the locker room, Reid donned a Santa suit and beard to the delight of his players. He entered the room and told his 15-1 squad that their present was home-field advantage as the top seed in the AFC.
