Chiefs are motivated by doubters who say record is a fluke, star says: ‘We’ll just keep showing up’
The Kansas City Chiefs have been on a winning streak, with a record of 13-1, but many still doubt their abilities. However, this doubt only serves as fuel for the back-to-back champions. Despite winning multiple games on their last possession and having the ball bounce their way, the Chiefs are not fazed by the skepticism surrounding their success.
Chiefs safety Justin Reid is one player who thrives on proving doubters wrong. In a recent interview with Fox News Digital, Reid expressed gratitude for the motivation that comes from those who doubt the team’s capabilities. He credits this doubt for firing up the team and pushing them to prove a point on the field.
Reid, who has won two Super Bowls with the Chiefs, also recently claimed the BlitzChamps title on Chess.com. Chess has become a tradition in the Chiefs’ locker room, with players engaging in quick five-minute games before games to stimulate their minds and provide a break from football-related activities.
NFL Films will be releasing a documentary highlighting Reid’s chess title and the involvement of other NFL stars in the game. Reid sees chess as a way of connecting with others and using strategic tactics to outsmart opponents, both on and off the field.
As the Chiefs gear up to face Reid’s former team, the Houston Texans, on Saturday, Reid is focused on bringing home another Lombardi Trophy. He emphasizes the importance of playing their best football heading into the playoffs and staying mentally prepared to avoid costly mistakes under pressure.
The Chiefs are determined to continue their winning ways and prove their critics wrong as they strive for a third consecutive championship. With a combination of skill, determination, and mental toughness, Reid and the Chiefs are confident in their ability to come out on top once again.
