KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs are trying to keep to a normal routine, even if their upcoming game against the Miami Dolphins is anything but.
The Chiefs are set to head over to Frankfurt, Germany, on Thursday ahead of Sunday’s marquee matchup against the Dolphins.
Reid said the entire organization helps to make that possible.
“We have that about down to where they can [travel], with the exception that they’ve got to get some rest on that plane,” Reid said. “It’s a nice big plane, comfy little things that they can do their thing there.”
Reid compared playing in Europe — the Chiefs last played overseas against the Detroit Lions in November 2015 in London, winning 45-10 — to playing in stadiums in which one of the teams is clearly the home team.
“It’s constant noise, not for one team or the other team, and it’s normally loud — it’s not just a buzz,” Reid said. “You listen to the soccer matches that they have and it’s loud — very similar to that.”
Reid praised advanced teams who have worked to make sure things like the hotel and even the playing field are in good shape.
“They’re hospitality with that, we look forward to getting over there and settling in,” Reid said. “I think as humans we like to get a little settled in, so we’ll do that with the couple of days that we have.”

The Denver Broncos are poking fun at Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs after their big win!
The Broncos upset the Chiefs on Sunday (October 29) in Denver, Colo. by a score of 24-9, breaking a 16-game losing streak against their AFC West rivals. The momentous victory prompted a jab at Travis, as the Chiefs’ tight end is dating Taylor Swift.
While the “Cruel Summer” singer was not in attendance, that didn’t stop the Broncos from throwing a little shade at her boyfriend.
After the game, Taylor‘s hit song “Shake It Off” blasted on the stadium’s loudspeakers.
The Broncos’ obvious trolling of Travis and the Chiefs made waves on social media and got many laughs out of NFL fans!
Find out what an insider had to say about the current state of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s relationship.
Just because the Kansas City Chiefs won it all last season doesn’t mean they’re immune to decisions backfiring. Kansas City signed wide receiver Richie James after their latest Super Bowl win, hoping he could contribute to the team’s offense and special teams in 2023. Well, after eight weeks of the regular season, both sides are working to find James a new home.
The #Chiefs and WR Richie James are exploring trade possibilities, per source. James – who’s on IR but would be healthy for a new team – appears the odd man out after Mecole Hardman trade. James had 50 catches for 569 yards and four touchdowns for the Giants in 2022.
