Many analysts said that were it some other player, he would be fired or benched for his actions. But not Kelce. What’s more, the team even went on to win the Super Bowl. It was a fun and frolic Super Bowl, and Kelce has dominated the headlines for obvious reasons.

Obviously, questions were bound to be raised about his conduct. Does he approve of it or not? He revealed his thought process about the entire incident.

Travis Kelce apologizes for his conduct

During their “New Heights” podcast episode on February 14, Travis’ brother Jason Kelce brought up the incident, noting how it caught Coach Reid off-guard. Travis admitted, “Yeah, I got him with a cheap shot. People are all over this, and I mean — I get it.” Jason responded, “You crossed a line. I think we can both agree on that.”

Travis expressed his passion for playing under Coach Reid, emphasizing his loyalty to the coach and the team. He made it clear that if Reid were to retire, he would follow him, although he noted that Reid had no plans to leave the Chiefs. He stated, “I’m not playing for anybody else but Big Red—if he calls it quits this year, I’m out there with him.”

Kelce yells at his head coach

As the Chiefs faced the 49ers, tensions ran high on the field. The incident occurred after a critical fumble by running back Isiah Pacheco, which could have shifted the game’s momentum in favor of the Chiefs. Travis Kelce, who was not directly involved in the play, expressed his frustration by approaching head coach Andy Reid. In a clip shared on Inside the NFL, Kelce’s outburst was evident as he grabbed Reid’s left arm and bumped into him while yelling.

Taken aback by the sudden confrontation, Reid appeared to stumble momentarily before regaining his composure. Teammate Jerick McKinnon intervened, guiding Kelce away from the coach as emotions continued to flare.

Ried, in a post-game-presser, addressed this as well. He said that there were no ‘hard feelings’ between them. But what do you think? Were Kelce’s actions justified? Or should he have been chastised for them?
