NFL legend Terry Bradshaw has admitted he “felt bad” for Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid after Travis Kelce yelled and berated him during the Super Bowl.
During the second quarter of the Chiefs’ 25-22 victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas, cameras captured the conversation between Kelce and his head coach on the sideline.
Moments before the incident, Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco had thrown the ball away on a play with Kelce on the sideline.
“I felt bad for Andy because Andy had hip surgery,” Bradshaw said.
“He had his game plan in hand. And when Kelce went there, Kelce didn’t push him. Kelce went over and he accidentally bumped him, I don’t think he pushed him or anything. It was an accident, but it looked bad on TV.”

Bradshaw went on to say that he texted Reid after the game and was ultimately surprised at how quickly he got a response.
“Nothing about Kelce,” Bradshaw said of the text exchange with Reid. “Kelce felt bad and it’s over. They won the football game.”
Kelce ultimately finished the Super Bowl with nine receptions for 93 yards.
After Kelce was criticized for his reaction and behavior towards Reid during the match, he also received a stern talking to from brother Jason on their New Heights podcast.
Jason told him, “You crossed the line. Let’s be honest. Even the screaming in his face is exaggerated. There are better ways to address this retroactively.”
Travis agreed, even going so far as to suggest he would leave football if Reid retired.
The tight end replied, “I can’t get to the point where I run into the coach and throw him off balance. When he tripped I was like “oh s***” in my head.
‘I am a passionate boy. I love Coach Reid. He knows how much I love playing for him, how much I love being a product of his coaching career.

“I don’t play for anyone other than Big Red. If he quits this year, I’m with him, man.
‘I have a certain relationship with him. He checked on me a few times and I just wanted to let him know that I wanted this thing and he could put it on me and I got it.
“It came at a time when we weren’t playing very well. I wasn’t playing that well and we had to get some things going and sometimes those emotions got away from me, man. That has been the struggle of my career.
“I don’t care what anyone else says. I was talking to Coach Reid about it today and we kind of chuckled about it.
“I couldn’t be more proud to be his product on the field and I couldn’t be more proud of where we’ve come as a team since I came here in 2013 and I love playing for that guy, man.
“Unfortunately sometimes my passion comes out where it seems like it’s negativity, but I’m grateful that he knows it’s all because I want to win this thing with him more than anything.”
