2. Reid also shared well wishes to former Offensive Coordinator Eric Bieniemy, who departed for the Washington Commanders last week.
“I’m so happy for EB to have a chance to put his name on an offense. This is his [offense] now. He’s working for [Head Coach] Ron Rivera, who is a dear friend, and more of a defensive head coach, so this allows EB to do his thing,” Reid said. “I’m happy for him.

First, Moore tallied a 29-yard punt return in the final minute of the AFC Championship Game that eventually set up the Chiefs’ game-winning field goal. Then, just two weeks later, Moore hauled in a 4-yard touchdown in Super Bowl LVII.
Toney, who joined the Chiefs via trade in late October, also had a postseason to remember. The former first-round pick caught a 5-yard touchdown in Super Bowl LVII before recording the longest punt return in Super Bowl history – a 65-yard dash – that set up Moore’s touchdown a few…
