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

At three under three, Mahomes told reporters Tuesday that he’s happy with the size of his family “for right now,” but Reid offered a different perspective when he spoke to the media.
“Yeah, I think he’s doing well,” 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, he believes the more the merrier.

“Once you have three, four and five it’s easy. That’s what I told him,” Reid said with a smile. “You’ve made three, you add a couple more and we’ll talk.”
But the focus now for Mahomes is definitely on the playoffs.
The Chiefs will face Houston Texas on Saturday in the divisional round held 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 single year is special. And when I look back at all the different Super Bowls that we’ve won, I look back at special moments that we’ve had and special games that we’ve had and then we’re going to try to do the same thing this year.”
The Chiefs head into Saturday’s game well-rested after securing a bye as the No. 1 seed.
