ESPN showed a choked up Andy Reid in the latest trailer for their upcoming Kansas City Chiefs docuseries.
‘The Worldwide Leader in Sports’ put their cameras inside the locker room of the Chiefs as they embarked on an ill-fated quest to achieve the first ‘three-peat’ in NFL history.
The trailer showed more footage from the field, from the locker rooms, and from interviews with players and coaches as well.
One snippet even showed Reid, the head coach of the Chiefs, choking up and holding his hands up as tears started to well up.
It’s unclear what preceded that moment, but Reid could be heard in the trailer saying, ‘It’s our life, and it’s an emotional game.’
The docuseries, titled ‘The Kingdom’ is set for an August 14 release – with episodes one and two airing at 9:00pm Eastern time.

The series follows the Kansas City Chiefs’ pursuit of a record-setting three-peat last season
Unfortunately for them, the Chiefs couldn’t defeat the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX
While the hopes for the three-peat died at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, the Chiefs’ dynasty hasn’t fallen off just yet.
Kansas City just recently began their training camp to prepare for a new season of football.
But they’re already set to be down one of their key pieces, as Reid confirmed on Sunday.
Last week, wide receiver Rashee Rice was sentenced to 30 days in jail for causing a chain-reaction crash that left multiple people injured on a Dallas highway last year. Rice was filmed fleeing the scene after the smash on March 30, 2024.
While Rice has freedom on when he serves time, the ruling from authorities also clears the way for the NFL to ban him before the start of the 2025 season. But as it stands, Reid doesn’t know for certain if Rice will be suspended, even though it is anticipated.
He said he is doing his best to make it business as usual as his team reports for camp on Monday. Reid also has to consider that Rice is returning from an ACL tear that curtailed his season in the early stages last year.
‘We’re going to progress as normal with him,’ Reid said on Sunday night. ‘He’ll go in and take all the reps that he’ll normally take.
‘We always rotate that position. Depending on what happens here with the future – whoever needs to play will step in and know what they are doing and be in good shape to do it.’
