The Chiefs are 15-1 for the first time in franchise history, and they looked every bit the part on Christmas Day in Pittsburgh. In a week, they could become the second team in NFL history to win 16 games in one season, even if they would have to do it with backups in Denver.

And, well, can the coach of this historic team get some love? Not in narrative. In actual hardware. Andy Reid should be a slam-dunk, runaway winner for the NFL Coach of the Year honor.

Yet as of this writing, in the Vegas sportsbooks, he sits third in the betting market, a distant 6-to-1 shot and trailing the favorite, Washington coach Dan Quinn, and Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell. Quick question, if you don’t mind: How?

Those coaches have been terrific. So have plenty of others in the league.
