Belichick is third on the list of all-time regular-season wins with 302, behind only Don Shula with 328 and George Halas with 318.<\/p>\n<p>Reid has 273 regular-season wins, likely needing three more seasons before he can approach Belichick\u2019s success. The Chiefs coach also has a ways to go before catching Belichick\u2019s Super Bowl wins, needing three more titles to reach Belichick\u2019s all-time record of six.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Chiefs Coach Shared Praise for Bill Belichick<\/h2>\n<p>Reid has always been a big admirer of Belichick, saying after their teams met in December 2023 that he believed Belichick was the best coach in NFL history.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s done an unbelievable job. Best in the business \u2014 ever. That\u2019s what you\u2019re talking about,\u201d Reid said after the Chiefs beat the Patriots, via Spectrum News. \u201cI don\u2019t question it. I know how great he is, and I\u2019ve got to deal with him by playing against him. So, nobody better. Not that I\u2019ve gone against. Nobody better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, himself a huge cheerleader of Reid, also had a lot of praise for Belichick.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve just got all the respect in the world for that guy,\u201d Kelce said. \u201cEvery single time I go up against him \u2013 it\u2019s the toughest job in the NFL, to go up against a Bill Belichick defense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe throws so much at you. He always has a lot of guys that can play smart,\u201d Kelce added. \u201cSo hats off to Belichick for today, for making my life tough, that\u2019s for damn sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid may have gotten a bad sign after Bill Belichick failed to reach the Hall of Fame on his first ballot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":42520,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kansas-city-chiefs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
