Andy Reid is used to coaching Patrick Mahomes on the football field, now he’s doing so in his home life too.

The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and wife Brittany welcomed their third child together, a baby girl called ‘Golden Raye,’ on Monday just in time for this weekend’s NFL playoffs. 

The Chiefs finally enter playoff action Saturday when they face the Houston Texans after a Wild Card week bye but head coach Reid attempted to prepare his signal caller for more than just football.

Reid, who shares five adult children with wife Tammy, offered Mahomes some advice about handling a full household Wednesday. 

‘Yeah, I think he does great with it,’ Reid said when asked how the veteran quarterback is handling fatherhood. ‘He came in as Patrick 2pm, now he’s Patrick 3pm.’ 

Mahomes insisted he is content with the size of his brood ‘for right now,’ but Reid appeared to be an advocate of more the merrier.

‘Once you have three, four and five are easy. That’s what I told him,’ Reid said with a smile. ‘You’ve made three, you add a couple more, we’ll talk.’

Reid shares sons Garrett, Britt and Spencer Reid and daughters Drew Ann and Crosby Reid with Tammy, who he has been married for 43 years. 

Meanwhile, the Mahomeses’ new bundle of joy joins their eldest daughter Sterling Skye, 3, and son Patrick ‘Bronze,’ 2.

The three-time Super Bowl winner was Tuesday asked if he and childhood sweetheart Brittany wanted more children and didn’t rule it out.

‘My goal was always three. So we’ve had three,’ Mahomes answered. ‘We’ll stick there for a while and see if we need to come back and get another one later on.

‘It’s cool to welcome another baby girl in our family and see how our kids react to her. Having baby sissy and stuff like that.’

The arrival of Mahomes’ third daughter this week means the Chiefs quarterback avoids any difficult decisions of family life overlapping with football and risking him missing a game to be there at the birth.

This year has extra significance for the Chiefs with Mahomes and his team pursuing a third straight Super Bowl тιтle.

‘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 so, we’ll try to do the same this year.’

If the Chiefs beat the Texans, they will host the winner of the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens for a place in the Super Bowl.
