The Kansas City Chiefs were unsuccessful in consecutive weeks trying to end their preseason losing streak with Saturday night's 16-15 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers . Head coach Andy Reid spoke with reporters after the game about the latest defeat.
"There were some good things tonight. We still have to eliminate some of these penalties at crucial times that take you backward, but a ton of great reps for the young players," said Reid. "Got everybody an opportunity to play. So for the evaluation process, still got the vets some quality time."
The Chiefs haven't won a preseason game since 2023. They are 0-2 in 2026 with one more game on Friday. Reid expressed the importance of winning games even if they don't necessarily count in the regular season.
"Yeah, listen, it's America. Hey, man, you want to win everything you do, and that's how it goes, man. So, to say you don't want to win, these guys want to do that. We just got to eliminate some of these mistakes," said Reid. "But again, you're doing that and trying to evaluate everybody at the same time. So, we're not going to make any excuses. I mean, you go in, and you want to win the game. Guys are competitive. There's a bunch of competitive guys out there."
The Chiefs will finish their preseason schedule back home at Arrowhead Stadium against the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks.
