Before Travis Kelce yelled at Andy Reid and bumped into him on the Chiefs’ sideline, his head coach had complimented him for eliminating that type of behavior throughout his NFL career.
“The player’s always been really good,” Reid told CBS in an interview that aired before Kansas City’s 25-22 win in Super Bowl 2024. “Now, he had a temper, so on the field he would go off and do some crazy things. He was a challenge early, but he’s grown up right before our eyes.
“He’s always had that heart, that soft heart, but he had to just grow out of the other stuff.”
Reid agreed with former NFL coach Bill Cowher, who conducted the interview, that Kelce needed to “channel it properly.”
But hours after the interview appeared on the pregame show, Kelce approached Reid after he wasn’t on the field for a key Chiefs sequence — when running back Isiah Pacheco fumbled on the snap that directly followed a 52-yard completion from Patrick Mahomes to Mecole Hardman.
