Kansas City, MO — Andy Reid, the Kansas City Chiefs’ mastermind coach, just proved that even NFL legends can have their “Matrix” moments — and Patrick Mahomes was there to witness the glitch firsthand.
Known for their telepathic connection (or as close as two football geniuses can get), Mahomes and Reid usually have an unspoken bond that makes executing plays seem effortless. But in this case, it wasn’t Mahomes who froze up. Nope, it was Big Red himself, and Mahomes’ face said it all—pure confusion with a side of “Am I in a sci-fi movie?”
During what seemed like a typical play breakdown, Reid did the unthinkable—he glitched. And no, this wasn’t a metaphor for a bad coaching call. The legendary coach had an all-out hilarious malfunction, stumbling through his explanation in a way that looked straight out of a broken video game.
Twitter Explodes: “Reid for the Next Marvel Villain?”
Of course, Twitter went nuts. “Is Coach Reid auditioning for The Matrix 5 or what?” one fan joked. Another said, “Forget the plays, Andy Reid is out here reprogramming reality.” There were calls for him to get his own comedic role in a blockbuster, or at least start his stand-up career—right after Travis Kelce’s new rom-com releases, of course.
The viral glitch occurred while Reid and Mahomes were filming their latest State Farm commercial in the team locker room—aka where the real magic happens. Forget the gridiron, folks, Reid and Mahomes’ chemistry is pure dynamite in front of the camera, and Reid’s glitch was apparently so good that people thought they’d need several takes to recover from the laughing fits.
A Bond Stronger Than Wi-Fi
As the comments flooded in, fans couldn’t help but admire the bond between Mahomes and Reid. It’s a relationship built on trust, victories, and the occasional sci-fi slip-up. Having consistently led the Chiefs to the playoffs since Mahomes’ arrival in 2018, the duo has practically rewritten the NFL playbook on what it takes to succeed—maybe even while malfunctioning.
But that’s just the thing about Andy Reid—he’s always surprising us, whether it’s pulling out a wild new offensive scheme or turning an ad into a viral meme-worthy moment. Mahomes has nothing but praise for his coach, and honestly, can you blame him? Reid’s not just a play-caller; he’s now also a comedic genius, apparently.
So if you thought Reid had run out of tricks, think again. He might just be downloading some new ones straight into the Chiefs’ playbook, glitch and all.
