Andy Reid wasted no time in changing into a more festive outfit following the Kansas City Chiefs’ win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day.
Reid’s players gave him the perfect gift of the AFC’s No. 1 seed with a comfortable 29-10 victory in Pennsylvania.
But Reid immediately afterwards ditched his usual side gear for a more festive outfit to deliver his post-match speech in the dressing room.
Netflix’s cameras caught Reid dressing the part as he donned a Santa suit, even sporting a full beard, to praise his stars after they took another big step towards the Super Bowl.
It was a game in which Travis Kelce set a new Chiefs touchdown record when he finally surpassed fellow tight end Tony Gonzalez.
Patrick Mahomes also passed for 320 yards and three touchdowns as the Chiefs clinched 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 dropped three in a row as their chances of capturing the AFC North were hit again.
Mahomes connected with Xavier Worthy and Justin Watson in the first half and Kansas City’s defense did most of the rest, even with perennial All-Pro defensive end Chris Jones sitting out while suffering a calf injury.
The Chiefs sacked Russell Wilson five times, forced two turnovers and hardly appeared gassed as they played for the third time in 11 days.
Kelce caught eight passes for 84 yards, 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, drawing an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and drawing groans from the capacity crowd at Acrisure Stadium that had grown accustomed to seeing Mahomes play with the hometown team.
Mahomes is now 4-0 against the Steelers in his career, with 17 touchdowns against one interception.
