Why was Travis Kelce yelling at Andy Reid Super Bowl?

Amid a scoreless second quarter for the Chiefs against the San Francisco 49ers, Kelce grabbed head coach Andy Reid on the sideline and screamed in his face. Kelce appeared to be upset that he wasn’t in the game on a pivotal red-zone play early in the second quarter.

Tight end Travis Kelce was among several Kansas City Chiefs players showing frustration with his team’s slow start in Super Bowl LVIII against the San Francisco 49ers.

Broadcast cameras captured Kelce bumping into his coach Andy Reid while yelling after Kansas City’s third offensive drive ended with a fumble by running back Isiah Pacheco.

Both teams were scoreless after the first quarter.

The Chiefs’ offense had finally come alive after a 52-yard pass from Patrick Mahomes to Mecole Hardman to place them at the 49ers’ 9-yard line. Two plays later, Kansas City’s offense was back on the sideline because Pacheco made a costly mistake.

The second-year running back lost a fumble for the first time in seven career playoff games, stopping momentum the Chiefs had generated.

Mahomes placed his hands on his head in frustration, while Kelce — who was not in the game when Pacheco fumbled — blew up on Reid. Kelce bumped into Reid on the sideline and nearly knocked him over as Kelce presumably expressed his desire to remain in the game going forward.

A few minutes later, Kelce walked up and hugged Reid. Reid patted him on the back.

The Chiefs went on to win 25-22, snagging their third Super Bowl in five seasons. After the game, Reid explained the interaction with Kelce.

“He caught me off balance. I’ve had this fake hip, and he caught me off balance,” the 65-year-old coach said. “The guy makes me feel young. He’s been with us longer than anybody. He’s a seasoned veteran, and he caught me off guard. Then I had to go take care of business with him.”

Reid also said Kelce was asking to be put in the game.Kelce finished the game as the Chief’s leading receiver with 93 yards on nine receptions.
