Since his arrival, the team has consistently been a contender, making multiple playoff appearances and clinching a Super Bowl title in recent years.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"2370\" data-start=\"2243\">Reid\u2019s speech reaffirmed this culture, urging players to remember the legacy they represent and the standards they are held to.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"2551\" data-start=\"2372\">\u201cWe have a responsibility to this franchise, to our fans, and to ourselves,\u201d Reid said. \u201cThis is about legacy.
