Fans around the league seem to think Chiefs head coach Andy Reid took a parting shot at Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa after last night’s playoff game.
Speaking to the media following Kansas City’s 26-7 wild card win, Big Red told reporters: “Patrick had a nice day. I don’t think [the Dolphins] anticipated us throwing the ball as much as we did. A lot of quarterbacks can’t do that in this type of weather.”

Tua struggled to get anything going in the cold and is now 0-4 in games played below 40 degrees for his career. Meanwhile, Kansas City soldiers on as step one of their title defense is complete.
