Andy Reid wasted no time in getting changed into a more festive outfit after the Kansas City Chiefs’ win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day.
Reid’s players delivered him the perfect gift of the AFC’s No. 1 seed with a comfortable 29-10 win in Pennsylvania.
But Reid dropped his usual sideline gear for a more festive outfit immediately afterwards to deliver his postgame speech in the locker room.
Netflix’s cameras caught Reid dressed the part as he donned a Santa suit, with even a full beard, to praise his stars after they took another huge step towards the Super Bowl.
It was a game that saw Travis Kelce set a new Chiefs touchdown record as he finally surpassed fellow tight end Tony Gonzalez.
Patrick Mahomes also passed for 320 yards and three touchdowns as the Chiefs locked up the top seed in the AFC for the fourth time in seven seasons.

The two-time defending Super Bowl champions raced to an early 13-point lead and were never really threatened by the Steelers, who have dropped three straight as their chances of capturing the AFC North took another hit.
Mahomes connected on first-half scoring tosses to Xavier Worthy and Justin Watson and Kansas City’s defense did most of the rest even with perennial All-Pro defensive end Chris Jones sitting out while nursing a calf injury.
The Chiefs sacked Russell Wilson five times, forced two turnovers and hardly looked gassed while playing for the third time in 11 days.
Kelce caught eight passes for 84 yards while becoming the third tight end in NFL history to reach 1,000 receptions, joining Hall of Famer Gonzalez and Jason Witten.
Kelce sealed Kansas City’s fifth straight victory with a 12-yard touchdown grab early in the fourth quarter.
The 35-year-old celebrated by dunking the ball over the goal post, which drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and groans from a capacity crowd at Acrisure Stadium that has grown used to seeing Mahomes toy with the hometown team.
Mahomes is now 4-0 against the Steelers in his career, with 17 touchdowns against one interception.
