Chiefs coach Andy Reid brushed off his sideline dustup with Travis Kelce on Sunday night as Kansas City picked up its first win of the season against the Giants.
— For the second consecutive week, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was seen having a heated sideline exchange with coach Andy Reid, this one coming during the team’s 22-9 win over the New York Giants on Sunday night.
Cameras picked up Reid and Kelce yelling at one another on the Chiefs’ sideline in the middle of the second quarter. Reid shouted back at Kelce and used his left shoulder to bump him to end the conversation.
After the win, the Chiefs’ first of the season, Reid said he wasn’t concerned with Kelce’s attitude or choice of words.
«I love Travis’ passion, man», said Reid, who is in his 13th season coaching the Chiefs. «I’m OK with that. We didn’t have enough of it in the second quarter. It wasn’t where we needed it to be, so, within reason, he knows when to back off the pedal and knows when to push it, too.
«That’s the part I love about him. The guy is all-in. Sometimes, I have to be the policeman.
