Since Sunday (February 11), the Chiefs have been celebrating their Super Bowl win in Las Vegas—a place whose name I am now unable to type without the image of Travis Kelce scream-singing “Viva Las Vegas” consuming my mind.
And while the Chiefs obviously won what we can all agree was an absolutely nerve-racking game, there were some tense moments that happened off the field too. Case in point? When Travis Kelce was caught on camera yelling at/shoving coach Andy Reid.
And now Andy—who’s already assured everyone that the moment was really no big deal—has revealed exactly what Travis said. During a convo with ESPN, Andy explained, “He caught me off balance. I wasn’t watching. He was really coming over [and saying], ‘Just put me in, I’ll score. I’ll score.’ So, that’s really what it was. I love that. It’s not the first time. I appreciate him.”
JFYI, the Chiefs coach previously told reporters, “The part I love is he loves to play the game, and he wants to help his team win. It’s not a selfish thing, that’s not what it is, and I understand that. And so as much as, you know, he bumps into me, I get after him. And we understand that. He just caught me off balance.”
Travis himself was also asked about the moment directly after the Super Bowl and said, “Oh, you guys saw that? Man, it was...I’m going to keep that between us unless my mic'd up tells the world, but I was just telling him how much I love him.”
Anyway!!! Head below to watch Travis call Andy “one of the best leaders of men I’ve ever seen in my life.”
