It took Patrick Mahomes and his team overtime to defeat the San Francisco 49ers. This shows how challenging the Super Bowl LVIII game was for each team at Allegiant Stadium. Even coach Andy Reid admitted this recently while praising his opponents’ coach, Kyle Shanahan.

The Kansas City Chiefs won the Vince Lombardi Trophy in Las Vegas, making them the first team in 20 years to secure back-to-back championships. Although the team managed to overcome a 10-point deficit, there was a time when it was speculated that the 49ers might likely win the game. Even Andy Reid believes that after seeing Shanahan’s impressive coaching and the 49ers’ strong plays in the game.

An escape for Andy Reid!

During a press conference after the Super Bowl game on Tuesday in Kansas City, Andy Reid was asked about the significance of having two West coach offenses reach the conference championship and face each other in the Super Bowl. Reid also mentioned the influence of Bill Walsh’s offense, which has remained strong over the past 50 years. Reid acknowledged the time-tested nature of these offensive strategies, mentioning the influence of Paul Brown.

Reid, acknowledging his own coaching style, praised Kyle Shanahan‘s talent, saying, “We’ve stretched ours in a certain direction, and Kyle’s done the same thing… Kyle did a heck of a job this year, and I don’t want to let that slide on this. He really is a heck of a football coach, and that game could have gone either way. That was one of those kinds of games, and I’m fortunate to say we came out on our side, on the positive side, but it could have easily gone that other way.“

In his four playoff appearances with the 49ers, Shanahan has achieved a notable 8-4 record and a solid win percentage of .667. This shows he can win big games but still needs to achieve one in the league.
