Greg Lewis Super Bowl Records

Greg Lewis never won the Super Bowl as a player. His dream of a Super Bowl Award came through when he helped the Chiefs as a coach to a Super Bowl Championship.

In separate Super Bowl appearances, the former wide receiver is the only individual to have both played and coached under Reid.

In Super Bowl XXXIX in Jacksonville in 2005, Lewis caught a touchdown pass for Reid’s Eagles, but they lost to the New England Patriots. After that, Lewis coached the wide receivers for the Kansas City Chiefs in their Super Bowl LIV victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
