During Super Bowl LVIII, Travis Kelce sparked speculation when he was caught getting frustrated with his coach Andy Reid while his team was trailing the San Francisco 49ers.
Travis Kelce is back in the spotlight, but this time it's not because of Taylor Swift.
Many eyes noticed Kansas City Chief tight end Travis Kelce during Super Bowl LVIII as he seemed upset with veteran coach Andy Reid.
This moment was captured on camera and shortly after, social media was filled with people guessing what had happened between the two.
However, Kelce made his frustration clear after the game when he told the media: “He's one of the best male leaders I've ever seen in my life. And he has helped me a lot with that, to channel that emotion, to channel that passion.”
He further added, “I owe my entire career to that guy and being able to control how emotional I get and I just love him,” emphasizing his coach's leadership qualities.
Kelce justified his reaction as solely because he wanted the best score for his team, and to his aid, Reid also downplayed the incident, stating, “It caught me off balance,” and acknowledging Kelce's competitive spirit.
“What I love is that he loves to play and wants to help his team win. It's not something selfish. That's not what it is. I understand that. No matter how much he clashes with me, I pursue him and we understand him. He just threw me off balance,” he admitted.
The exchange shows the passionate and determined relationship between player and coach, as Kelce also joked in a post-game interview: “I was just telling him I loved him.”
Despite the intense chatter and internet frenzy, Kelce's performance did not falter during the game as he put on an outstanding performance in the second half of the game and helped secure the Chiefs' victory.
