Travis Kelce opens up about the incident

On the podcast ‘New Heights’, hosted by brothers Jason and Travis Kelce, the duo got into the incident. This occurred in the second quarter of the game, the Chiefs were down 3-0 and were conceding fumbles and turnovers. The 34-year-old TE wanted to let his coach know his feelings regarding the plans.

“You got out of line”, Jason said to his brother Travis as the siblings started to talk about the incident. “When he stumbled, I was like oh sh*t”, said Kelce on the podcast.

Though Travis agreed, he was too passionate to let the game slip away from the Chiefs. And both the brothers agreed that it is Kelce’s special relationship with the 65-year-old coach. “We had a chuckle about it, this morning”, said Kelce about his talk with Reid. But this wasn’t the only heated incident during the game!

Superstar QB got into it as well

QB Patrick Mahomes and wide receiver Rashee Rice also clashed after the end of regulation time at the Super Bowl. The 23-year-old rookie WR was irritated with the call to go for the field goal, instead of trying to win before the OT.

And Mahomes being the leader that he is, calmed the youngster down. These interactions, however, did help the Chiefs in the end. Since all’s well when it ends well!

Do you agree with Travis Kelce and his reasoning for the clash? Let us know in the comments.
