- Kelce, 34, told the media in the aftermath of the team’s victory that his anger was due to the fact that he “wanted the score to be different”
Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce had nothing but praise for his longtime coach Andy Reid after the tight end was seen hugging the 65-year-old as the team lost to the San Francisco 49ers at halftime.
Kelce, 34, told the media in the aftermath of the team’s win that his anger was due to the fact that he “wanted the score to be different” and that Reid is “one of the best men’s leaders I’ve ever seen in the competition’. my life.’
The pair’s interaction sparked a firestorm of memes on social media as viewers speculated about what was said. At one point, it looked like Kelce almost knocked Reid off his feet.
“He is one of the best men’s leaders I have ever seen in my life. And he helped me a lot with that, with channeling that emotion, with channeling that passion. “I owe my whole career to that man and I can kind of control how emotional I get and just love him,” Kelce said.
For his part, Reid also replayed the altercation.
‘He threw me off balance. I didn’t look. He actually came over (and said), ‘Put me in, I’ll score. I’ll score.’ So that’s basically it. I love that. It’s not the first time. I appreciate him.’
“What I like is that he likes to play the game and wants to help his team win. It’s not selfish. That’s not what it is. I understand that. No matter how many times he bumps into me, I’m going to chase him and we understand that. He just threw me off balance.”

It was one of the first cases where Kelce went viral and his girlfriend wasn’t involved.
One night after Swift earned her fourth career Grammy for album of the year last week, Kelce said he told her he had to “keep up my end of the bargain and take home some hardware, too.”
Swift flew halfway around the world to watch her boyfriend, who also said on Monday during the opening night of Super Bowl week, “I want this more than ever in my life.”
“I’m going to move on and enjoy this and everything that just happened,” he said. ‘This is a unique opportunity that I have now been able to take advantage of three times. It gets sweeter and sweeter every time.
“You know the goal has always been to get three. But we couldn’t get here without getting those two and having that target on our backs all year.”
This was the second sideline incident this season involving Kelce and Reid.
During a game against the Raiders on Christmas Day, an angry Kelce stuck his helmet on the sideline, and when a staff member tried to give it back to the tight end so he could take the field, Reid grabbed the helmet and refused to give it to him. it back.
