After a poor start to the game, Travis Kelce showed his frustration with coach Andy Reid along the Kansas City Chiefs sideline for trailing the score against the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl. After Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco fumbled the ball deep in San Francisco 49ers territory, Kelce was seen running toward Reid and grabbing his arm. According to CBS analyst Tony Romo, Kelce was telling Reid that he wanted him to keep him in the game since he was not on the field when his team fumbled.
Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon had to restrain Travis Kelce on the sideline. Kansas fumbled shortly after the tight end was completely open on a play in which quarterback Patrick Mahomes instead found wide receiver Mecole Hardman for a big gain. This is not the first time that NFL cameras captured Travis Kelce losing control in the middle of a game, during a Christmas game against the Raiders, Kelce angrily threw his helmet to the ground, frustrated by his team’s lack of offense. After the game, which his team lost, the star commented on the game on his podcast.
“We delivered a victory to that team on Christmas. “We literally played Santa and gave them a gift.” “That was embarrassing… It’s frustrating when you know you have the kids and you have everyone you need and things just aren’t going your way,” Kelce said.
“I have to focus and be more responsible for him and be more responsible for my teammates,” he continued. “I have to stay calm, man, because as the leader of this team, you don’t change the momentum,” he said.
