The Kansas City Chiefs made fresh history for their accomplished head coach Saturday in their 23-14 divisional-round victory over the visiting Houston Texans.
The Chiefs raised Reid’s record in the playoffs to 27-16, putting him within four wins of the all-time leader, Bill Belichick (31 playoff wins). But when taken in concert with Reid’s 273 regular season victories, Reid has 300 career wins.
Just four coaches in NFL history have reached the 300-win plateau. Former Miami Dolphins head man Don Shula remains the all-time leader with 347 wins, while Belichick (Cleveland Browns, New England Patriots), is in second place with 333. George Halas (Chicago Bears) sits in third with 324, with Reid (Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles) rounding out the top four.
Reid and the Chiefs, who will host the AFC Championship Game against either the Baltimore Ravens or Buffalo Bills next Sunday, are in pursuit of an NFL-record third straight Super Bowl championship.
Reid could conceivably tie or surpass Belichick in career playoff wins next season.
