The longer halftime of Super Bowl LVII was a key factor in the Kansas City Chiefs’ comeback victory, according to head coach Andy Reid. The Chiefs found themselves down by 10 points at the half, but Reid and his coaching staff used the extended break to make adjustments and review them with the players.
Reid said that the halftime period was broken up into two parts, during which the assistant coaches discussed how they needed to adjust while the players took a break. After that, Reid was able to go over the adjustments with the players.
Reid also noted that the Chiefs were still confident in their ability to come back, even when they were down by 10 points. He said that he didn’t have to give any big motivational speeches, but just reminded the players of what they had done to get to the Super Bowl.
The longer halftime allowed Reid and the Chiefs to make the necessary changes to mount a successful comeback, and the rest is now history. The halftime break is a crucial part of any football game, but the extended break of the Super Bowl gave Reid and the Chiefs the extra time they needed to make the adjustments needed to win.
