Andy Reid Gives Priceless Reply to Question About Super Bowl Dispute With Travis Kelce

The Kansas City Chiefs’ latest Super Bowl victory featured some tension during the game, as tight end Travis Kelce bumped into head coach Andy Reid in a heated moment. At the time, Kelce’s actions irked some fans, but both Kelce and Reid laughed it off after the game.

During an appearance on The Herd with Colin Cowherd, Reid once again addressed the interaction between he and Kelce, joking it would’ve gone differently had he saw Kelce coming.

I didn’t see him coming or I would have forearm ripped him,” Reid said while laughing. “You know, he got me.”

In a more serious tone, Reid continued to say that he knows he needs to keep an eye on Kelce because of how important he is to the team. However, Kelce’s fiery passion is also what makes him such a strong leader

I love his passion,” Reid said. “He’s always telling me, ‘Fire me up!’ I’m hard on him; he’s like one of my kids. I try to stay on top of him and make sure that he’s right because he’s the personality of our team.”

Reid has coached Kelce since 2013, so the two clearly have a strong relationship that can withstand the heat of the moment. The Chiefs coach said he understands how fiery it can become during games, having been in this business for so long.

In the end, the Chiefs got the job done for their second straight title and third in five years. Everyone can now look back on that moment in jest.
