Reid is confident in Chiefs’ focus
The Kansas City Chiefs have officially wrapped up their on-field preparations for Super Bowl LIX, putting the finishing touches on their game plan ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
On Friday, the team held its final full practice at Tulane University, a 70-minute session focused on special teams and situational drills. Head coach Andy Reid was pleased with how his squad handled the week, emphasizing that they’re right where they need to be as they chase history.

“We’re in a good spot,” Reid said, per a pool report from Luke Johnson of the New Orleans Times-Picayune. “You’ve got to make sure you stay focused the next couple of days and keep getting yourself ready. We’ll get a walk-through in tomorrow and then go play.”

Reid’s words reflect the confidence of a team that has been here before. With a chance to become the first team in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowls, the Chiefs are balancing excitement with business as usual. This marks the third consecutive practice with full attendance, a strong indicator that the team is locked in and ready to go.

The only minor hiccup came when practice squad defensive lineman Fabien Lovett left early due to illness. However, with the entire 53-man roster healthy and cleared for Sunday, it’s all systems go for the reigning champs.
With the heavy lifting done, the Chiefs will hold a brief walk-through on Saturday before taking their official team photo. Then, it’s game time. The anticipation is palpable, and the team knows the importance of staying mentally sharp in these final hours.
Veteran players like Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce have emphasized the importance of preparation and staying locked in. “At this stage, it’s all about execution,” Mahomes said earlier in the week. “We know what we have to do, and now it’s just about going out there and doing it.”
The Chiefs’ postseason experience is a significant advantage. This marks their fourth Super Bowl appearance in five years, and they’ve shown time and time again that they know how to perform under pressure.
