Travis Kelce Goes Berserk On Andy Reid For Taking Him Out Of Game

The Super Bowl is underway and the big story in the first half has been … fumbles. Both the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers lost fumbles in their opponent's territory. On the Chiefs fumble, Travis Kelce was on the sideline. He was furious at head coach Andy Reid about that decision. 

On the play prior to the fumble, quarterback Patrick Mahomes hit wide receiver Mecole Hardman for a huge play, the biggest of the half for Kansas City. Hardman hauled in a 52-yard catch to get Kansas City inside the 49ers' 10-yard line. 

On the play, Kelce could be seen jumping up and down calling for the football prior to Mahomes throwing it, only to celebrate when he realized that Mahomes hit Hardman for a huge play.

After that play, though, the Chiefs took Kelce out of the game to give him a breather, since they planned to run the ball with Isiah Pacheco. Pacheco took the ball outside the right and San Francisco's defense converged, causing Pacheco to lose a fumble. 

Kelce went berserk on Andy Reid and even made contact with his head coach, nearly pushing him to the ground. 

I'm not going to sugarcoat it: this is ridiculous behavior by Kelce. I understand wanting to be on the field during the Super Bowl, but his absence didn't have much effect on the play. Maybe he blocks one of the San Francisco defenders who forced or recovered the fumble, but how could he know that? 

In addition, we're talking about Andy Reid here. He's helped the Chiefs win two Super Bowls already and reach their fourth in five years. It's safe to assume he knows what he's doing. 

Giving Kelce a quick breather in that spot, especially since the team was going to need him – if Pacheco didn't fumble. 

Either way, this game is not about Travis Kelce. I know he thinks it is because that's what the media keeps telling him, but it isn't. Physically contacting your head coach for taking you out of the game for one play? 

Ridiculous.
