Super Bowl LVIII is underway, with the Chiefs and the 49ers in an intense race to win the prestigious Lombardi Trophy. Till now, the 49ers have had the upper hand and the pressure is getting to the Chiefs. Amid a frustrating and scoreless second quarter, exasperations reached an all-time high, as was evident by a sideline scuffle between Travis Kelce and Andy Reid. The altercation occurred after a costly fumble by Isiah Pacheco resulted in a turnover in favor of the 49ers.
Wow. Travis Kelce bumped Andy Reid after he was taken off the field.

From the video, the tight end seemed unhappy with the call that led to the play. Some X sources also speculated that Travis Kelce was not on the field, a decision that did not sit well with him, which led to the Chiefs’ star TE getting angry with his head coach. After the Isiah Pacheco blunder, Travis Kelce was seen walking up to his head coach, bumping into him, and shouting something while Chiefs’ running back, Jerick McKinnon, pulled him back.
Only time will tell exactly what transpired between Travis Kelce and Andy Reid, but the display of emotion on behalf of the tight end is not surprising, because he has been one of the biggest advocates of Chiefs Super Bowl run.
