Chiefs HC Andy Reid had the perfect response to unique 2024 NFL schedule quirk
Nathan Ray Seebeck-USA TODAY Sports

The Kansas City Chiefs have one of the more unique NFL schedules during the 2024 NFL season. 

After becoming back-to-back Super Bowl champions, every network wants a piece of the team that has taken the league by storm. As a result, the Chiefs have a brutal schedule and the NFL knows it. They're set to be the first team in the Super Bowl era to play on six different days of the week during the course of a season. 

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Chiefs HC Andy Reid was asked whether he gets to provide any input or is alerted to any schedule quirks in advance. His response to the whole thing was perfect.

"They don't ask me," Reid said. "It's the first time in my career that that has happened. It's unique. You know how we are, we don't really care. They can give us a Tuesday game if they want, we'll be OK there, too. We work through it, we'll play anybody, anywhere. Whatever they want to do, we're on board." 

This tends to be the attitude the team has held as long as Andy Reid has been in Kansas City. They control what they can and the NFL schedule isn't one of those things. They pride themselves on being able to rise to the occasion no matter the perceived difficulty and challenge ahead of them. 

The comments were reminiscent of his postgame speech after the Week 18 win over the Los Angeles Chargers last season. 

"Doesn’t matter who’s playing," he said. "Anywhere we want to play. CVS parking lot? We’ll play!

So, if the NFL happens to move a game to a Tuesday next season, they'll grin and bear it and play on Tuesday.
