Interestingly, this dynamic duo has even influenced Chiefs owner Clark Hunt to abandon a long-standing tradition.During a Wednesday episode of Good Morning Football, Hunt made an appearance to discuss the Chiefs and his family legacy. The conversation took an intriguing turn when he was asked, “Are you one of these guys who likes to put his left shoe on before his right shoe, as you are in the pursuit of a third straight Super Bowl?”Hunt’s response was a surprising revelation. Thanks to Mahomes and Reid, he no longer relies on superstitions. “We’re not very superstitious. I got rid of all my lucky ties when we hired Andy Reid and drafted Patrick Mahomes. We didn’t need those lucky ties,” he admitted. Now that’s a statement that speaks volumes about his confidence in the duo!The Mahomes-Reid duo has elevated the Chiefs to NFL dominance, securing three Super Bowl titles, including back-to-back wins. CBS Sports crowned them the No. 1 QB-coach duo in 2022, a title they uphold.
