. . Kansas City Chiefs . 9. player. 124. Andy Reid might very well be reaching demigod status after what he pulled off in 2015. Despite losing Jamaal Charles to a torn ACL, the veteran coach still got the Kansas City Chiefs to the playoffs. Not only that, but he also delivered the first playoff victory the team has experienced in 21 years. People can criticize him for not winning a Super Bowl up to this point, but there is no arguing he’s one of the best head coaches of this era. <p>To this point there isn’t any reason to think the Chiefs won’t be in the AFC hunt again. Charles should be back healthy while Alex Smith will have Travis Kelce and Jeremy Maclin for the passing attack. The big issue is on defense. Pro Bowl safety Eric Berry still hasn’t reported due to contract problems and Pro Bowl outside linebacker Justin Houston is an unknown due to a knee injury. Getting those two back is crucial to their success in 2016.</p>
