Andy Reid takes responsibility after Chiefs’ 20-3 loss to Seahawks
Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid accepted responsibility for the team's 20-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, their first defeat of the season. The game was marked by poor offensive performance, including a lack of red-zone drives and missed field goals.

The Chiefs finished with 213 total yards, no touchdowns and two missed field goals. Reid took full responsibility afterward, but he offered few details on what actually broke down, and that gap is what Chiefs fans will chew on this week.Andy Reid takes the blame after Seattle shuts down Kansas City’s offenseAndy Reid did not dodge the question. “All three phases, we struggled,” he told reporters. “So we’ve got to do better, and that’s my responsibility.
