On their return from the break, they secured a brilliant 28-18 win over the San Francisco 49ers in a repeat of last season’s Super Bowl.
The victory means Reid has won 22 of 26 matches after the bye week in his career, which is the best record in the NFL history.
It equates to the Chiefs being FIVE times more likely to win after the bye week than lose.
Travis and his brother Jason discussed the head coach’s genius on their New Heights podcast.
Jason said: “Nobody is better at getting it in the end zone after the bye week than Andy Reid.”
Asked what his bye week trick is, Travis answered: “I’m not sure. That’s his secret sauce, man.
“He’s got the formula. He has a unique way to find routines that challenge everybody in the building.
“You know, you give him that extra week of preparation to think about it and to really put a game plan together.
“Coach Reid does it better than anybody in my opinion, and I think that record proves it.”
The Chiefs sit top of the AFC West and have not lost any of their seven games this term.
