Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is taking some heat for bumping into head coach Andy Reid during the second quarter of Super Bowl 58 against the San Francisco 49ers at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Kelce was caught by CBS cameras bumping into Reid and confronting him after he was taken off the field before running back Isiah Pacheco fumbled in the red zone and turned the ball over
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown was quick to respond to the clip, writing on X that he “would’ve been kicked out” of the NFL if he bumped into head coach Nick Sirianni like Kelce bumped into Reid
In a subsequent post on X, Brown’s account claimed that the Eagles star didn’t post the original comment, which hasn’t been deleted. Eagles cornerback Darius Slay also appeared to indicate that Brown didn’t make the post
Kelce and the Chiefs were down 3-0 to the 49ers at the time of the play, and the tight end was frustrated by Kansas City’s struggles on offense. At the 4:23 mark of the second quarter, Kelce had just one catch for one yard.
Kelce is hoping to win his third career Super Bowl and the Chiefs are aiming to become the first team since the New England Patriots in 2004 and 2005 to win back-to-back championships.
