Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce made headlines in multiple ways during Super Bowl 58, but one of the reasons why wasn’t exactly viewed as a positive.
During the Chiefs’ offensive struggles in the first half against the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 58, cameras caught a furious Kelce coming over to light into head coach Andy Reid. A furious Kelce was widely scrutinized for going off on his coach, even making contact with Reid during the testy exchange:
Nearly a month after that infamous moment, coach Reid got the chance to address the confrontation during his appearance on “The Herd with Colin Cowherd” (h/t Matt Audilet of Athlon Sports).
Reid took a humorous approach on the subject before praising Kelce’s passion and leadership:
“I didn’t see him coming or I would have forearm ripped him…I love his passion…I’m hard on him. He’s like one of my kids. I try to stay on top of him and make sure he’s right, because he’s our personality. As great of a leader Patrick (Mahomes) is, everybody follows Kelce. When he’s fired up, everybody follows along in that. Do things get a little crazy? Yeah, they get a little crazy. That’s why the job’s so great.”
Kansas City’s high-powered offense was held to just three points in the first half. But as always, Kelce and Patrick Mahomes saved their very best for last.
After a quiet first half, Kelce was practically unstoppable over the final two quarters and overtime, hauling in eight receptions for 92 yards. Kelce caught a seven-yard pass in the Chiefs’ overtime possession that set up first-and-goal at the three, with Mecole Hardman catching the game-winning TD pass from Mahomes.
With the victory, the Chiefs cemented themselves as a dynasty with a third Lombardi Trophy in five years. They also became the first team to win back-to-back Super Bowl championships since the 2003 and ’04 New England Patriots.
