The Kansas City Chiefs are getting set to play the Green Bay Packers at the historic Lambeau Field during prime time.
For Chiefs HC Andy Reid, it marks a return to the site where his NFL career started.
“The only time I go back is when we play there, but listen, it’s a lot like Kansas City that way, they’re passionate about football,” Reid said. “It is a neat environment. I mean we look forward to that challenge of going up there and playing. I know our guys do. I had a great time there; we won a World Championship (Super Bowl XXXI), so my experience there was top-notch.”
The players agree that the environment is one-of-a-kind, but they also liken it to Arrowhead Stadium in that regard.
“Such a historic field, for all the Super Bowls, the Lombardi, just the history of the field is amazing,” Chiefs DT Chris Jones said. “I’m always looking forward to playing in such an environment. Similar to KC’s (GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium) right.”
It’ll mark the first game at Lambeau Field for Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes — and one that he’s been looking forward to for a long, long time.
“I’m extremely excited for it,” Mahomes said. “I’ve watched (football) my whole entire life, and I know it’s going to be a hostile environment; the fans are going to be loud, it's going to be a lot like GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium is to other teams like you’re saying. I’m excited, if you love football, you love Lambeau Field. I’m excited to get the opportunity to play there.”
Andy Reid is the WINNINGEST coach in Chiefs HISTORY!
Rashee Rice is “Patrick-friendly” per Andy Reid:
Chiefs rookie WR Rashee Rice has been dubbed “Patrick-friendly” by the big man himself. What exactly does “Patrick-friendly” mean when you’re talking about wide receivers? Andy Reid was asked to give a definition.
“Getting better at understanding how to play against these crazy zones that these defenses throw at you and getting into space where you’re available,” Reid said. “It’s not always a way that’s drawn up on a piece paper, you’ve got to have a feel, and so when I say that, I’m saying he’s got a feel and he’s building in all those different defenses and kind of seeing that and putting that together. There’ll keep being challenges this year, this will be a big challenge for him, this team here but he’s getting better every week at that.”
Hopefully, Rice graduating from rookie to “Patrick-friendly” will help the offense continue to take the next step.
