Kansas City Chiefs superstar tight end Travis Kelce has become known for his extremely competitive nature, and it seems that his competitiveness led to a bit of an altercation with head coach Andy Reid during the Super Bowl LVIII matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.
During the second quarter of Sunday’s game, the Chiefs suffered a crucial turnover in the red zone after a fumble from running back Isaiah Pacheco. It was a huge missed opportunity for the Chiefs as it took away a scoring opportunity and gave the ball back to the San Francisco 49ers. And Travis Kelce was not happy.
After the turnover, Kelce ran up to Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid on the sideline and screamed loudly at him as he bumped into him, nearly knocking him to the ground before running back Jerick McKinnon ran over to hold Kelce back.

“Travis Kelce looked less than enthused,” the NFL on CBS official account said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.
Obviously, this led to a lot of reactions on social media.

Kelce was likely frustrated that Andy Reid pulled him out of the game on the play that resulted in a fumble. With Kelce out, the tight end playing in his place missed a block leading to the turnover.
