Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid knows football. He also knows a thing or two about being a father.
Monday, Patrick and Brittany Mahomes announced the birth of her third child in a post on social media. Golden Raye Mahomes was born on Sunday, January 12, and is the couple’s second daughter.

With three children under the age of three, Mahomes told reporters Tuesday that he was happy with the size of his family “at the moment,” but Reid offered a different perspective when he spoke to the media.
“Yeah, I think he’s doing great,” Reid said when asked how the veteran quarterback is handling fatherhood. “He came in as Patrick at 2 p.m., now he’s Patrick at 3 p.m.”
But for Reid, a father of five, the more he believes, the merrier.

“Once you get three, four and five, it’s easy. That’s what I told him,” Reid said with a smile. “You made three, you add a few more, we’ll talk about it.”
However, Mahomes’ focus now is certainly on the playoffs.
The Chiefs will face the Houston Texans Saturday in the divisional round hosted at Arrowhead Stadium as the Chiefs pursue a historic third straight championship.

“I think every year is special,” Mahomes said. “Obviously you want to win three in a row and build those memories with the guys and the community. But every year is special. And when I think back to all the different Super Bowls that we’ve won, I think back to special moments that we have experienced and special matches that we have experienced And so we will try to do the same this year.
The Chiefs enter Saturday’s game well-rested after earning a bye as the No. 1 seed.
