Andy Reid dons Santa suit to celebrate Chiefs’ Christmas win
NY Post
Andy Reid got into the Christmas spirit.
The Chiefs coach made a postgame outfit change, swapping his sideline attire for a Santa Claus outfit, to deliver the good news to his Chiefs players after their 29-10 win over the Steelers clinched the AFC title and a first-round bye.
“Merry Christmas! Proud of you, dudes. Proud of you,” he said. “For the present, you get home field advantage.”
Reid’s entrance was enough to steal the thunder from stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, who riled everyone up by showing off their custom Pere Noel-inspired sideline jackets — gifts from Netflix for their performances in the victory.
The day was made much more special for Kelce, who gave the Acrisure Stadium crowd an unwanted gift with the 1,000th reception of his career, adding his 77th touchdown with the Chiefs to pass legend Tony Gonzalez for the most receiving scores in franchise history.
Kelce dunked the ball through the uprights — an ode to Gonzalez’s signature TD celebration — and earned an unsportsmanlike penalty for his troubles.
It’s becoming increasingly evident that Juan Soto’s decision to sign with the Mets was pushed over the finish line by the Amazin’s emphasis on family and what they could do to welcome the superstar slugger’s crew into the fold.

Conversations with Aaron Rodgers are … interesting.

It’s not too often that a pro referee admits they got a call wrong, at least that the fans hear.
One of the brightest lights to this miserable Jets season has been dimmed for the final two games.
Lisa Salters’ postgame interview with Packers quarterback Jordan Love featured a cameo she certainly didn’t expect.
This is the part that lends hope for other nights, and other games, on the other side of the season, when there will be an open casting call for alpha dogs, willing and able to take their turn at the most necessary moments. Every night lately, it’s been someone else.

There’s a whole lot crammed into 100 years of playing the game. That span means the Giants have been there, done that, time and again, over and over. Everything has passed through their gates. Great triumphs. Abject failure. The winds of change and the stillness of sameness. Championship moments. Despair in the air.
