Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes led his side to the Super Bowl for the second year straight in 2021. The Chiefs played against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but before the game started, they had to go through some tragic news. Did the news affect the Kansas City Chiefs game on 8th February 2021?

Before the game began, the team got news of a tragic accident in which a 5-year-old was critically injured that also involved Kansas City Chiefs outside linebacker coach Britt Reid. Britt Reid is the son of head coach Andy Reid. Britt Reid was under investigation and also had to go through surgery after the crash.

After the game ended, Patrick Mahomes told the media, “It’s hard to put it into words. The Guys were still ready to go. It’s still a very tragic situation and you want to keep that in the back of your mind, and you give prayers to the family involved. I don’t want to say it affected us on the field. They beat us. There’s no excuse for that. But you’re praying for those families.”

Mahomes prayed for those affected by the accident and said all the players had the thought in their minds. But it did not affect the game, and this cannot be the reason for their loss against the Buccaneers. The Chiefs had given their 100 percent, but the Brady-led Buccaneers outperformed them.

At the end of the game, Chiefs’ head coach, Andy Reid, was asked about the accident. He said, “My heart goes out to all those who were involved in the accident, in particular the family with the little girl who’s fighting for her life. I can’t comment on it any more than what I am here.”
