Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce said his behavior toward head coach Andy Reid during Sunday's Super Bowl was “absolutely unacceptable.”
During the first quarter of Kansas City's overtime victory over the San Francisco 49ers, Kelce bumped into Reid, 65, and screamed in his face.
The 34-year-old was unhappy about being ejected after Isaiah Pacheco fumbled the ball eight yards out.
Both Kelce and Reed downplayed the incident after the game in Las Vegas.
“I just told him how much I love him,” Kelce joked to CBS, and Reed told ESPN that Kelce apologized.
But when it comes to New Heights;, external“I just can't get myself together enough to run into a coach and lose my balance,” Kelce said on a podcast he co-hosts with his brother Jason.
“It happened at a moment when we weren't playing very well, and I wasn't playing very well either.
“This was completely unacceptable and I wish I had taken it back immediately.In fact, Coach Reed came to me immediately afterward and there were no harsh words. was.”
Jason Kelce, who played two seasons under Reid with the Philadelphia Eagles, said his brother “crossed the line.”
“The screaming in his face was also over the top,” Jason Kelce added on Wednesday's podcast.
“Looking back, I think there are better ways to handle this.”
Kelsey, who is dating pop star Taylor Swift, said Reid would have had the right to respond physically to his outburst.
He added, “I'm a passionate guy. I love Coach Reed. He loves how much I love playing for him and that I'm going to be a product of his coaching career.” I know how much I love you,” he added.
