Travis Kelce and Andy Reid have spoken after coming to blows on the sideline in Chiefs Christmas Day loss to the Raiders… but his coach REFUSES to reveal what was said
Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid said he and Travis Kelce talked about their feud during the 20-13 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Christmas.
After surrendering back-to-back defensive touchdowns in an NFL-record seven seconds, Kelce slammed his helmet on the ground in frustration.
Reid then stepped in to talk to Kelce in an attempt to calm the eight-time Pro Bowler when the two encountered each other in the heat of the moment.
“Trav and I talked, we talked, yeah,” Reid said after being asked if he had to have any additional conversations with Kelce after the incident.
He subsequently declined to discuss the details of the conversation, telling a reporter that he did not want to make details of the conversation public.

Kelce also spoke about the incident and admitted that he has to keep his emotions in check during those moments.
“He (coach Reid) takes care of me and I love him for that,” Kelce said on his New Heights podcast Wednesday. “I didn't go back and play well. He wanted to see the fire in me and I reacted negatively.
'He wanted the best from me and at the moment I'm just not playing my best football. I need to lock the hell up and be more responsible for him, and more responsible for my teammates.
“Gotta keep my damn cool man, because as the leader of this team, that's not how you change momentum.”
Kansas City fell to a 9-6 record after the loss and looked a far cry from the dominant team many have become accustomed to in recent years.
NFL analyst Danny Kanell even went so far as to say Kelce's teammate Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is having “the worst season of his career” after the loss.
