STRINGING WINS TOGETHER UNDER REID: With tonight’s win at Chicago, the Chiefs move to 11-4 on the season and are on a five-game winning streak.

Since Reid’s arrival, the team has had streaks of nine straight wins in 2013, five straight in 2014, 10 straight in 2015, five straight in 2016, five straight in 2017, five straight in 2018 and five straight in 2019.
