No moment in last Sunday’s Super Bowl drew as much attention as the sideline riot when Travis Kelce slammed into head coach Andy Reid. Now, Kelce is in charge.
In his Wednesday edition new heights On a podcast he co-hosts with his brother Jason, Travis Kelce called the violent confrontation with Reed “absolutely unacceptable.”
“The more I bump into the coach, the more I don’t get fired up and lose my balance.” Kelsey Said. “When he stumbled, I thought in his head, ‘Oh shit.'”
The source of Kelce’s frustration was Reid’s decision to take Kelce out of the game on a red zone play that led to a Kansas City turnover.

Kelce said she would have been justified if Reed had hit her in retaliation.
“I deserved it. If he had iced me in the face right then and there, I would have just eaten it,” Kelce said. “If it were me, I would have thought, ‘Let’s go.'”
However, Reid stated in his post-match briefing that this incident was due to Kelce’s passionate nature.
