Andy Reid talked about the incident post game and cleared out any bad feelings that fans may think exists between the two.
“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,” the coach said.
“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,” he added.
Though the coach had already talked about it to clear out any seemingly bad blood, Kelce also talked about it on the recent episode of his podcast amid all the criticism from his fans as well as Swifties.

Speaking on his podcast, Travis’s brother Jason Kelce brought up the heated moment on field. “You crossed a line. I think we would both agree on that. Let’s be honest, the yelling in his face, too, is over the top. I think there’s better ways to handle this retrospectively,” Jason said.
Kelce agreed and said “People are all over this and I mean, I get it. Yeah, I know, I’m a passionate guy. I love Coach Reid. Coach Reid knows how much I love to play for him, how much I love to be, you know a product of his coaching career. I’m not playing for anybody else but Big Red.
“If he calls it quits this year, I’m out there with him, man. He’s not. And I’ve got a certain relationship with him. He’s checked me a few times, I just wanted to let him know that I wanted this thing, and he can put it on me and I got him,” the Chiefs tight end continued.
Adding on, he said, “I don’t give a shit what anybody else says. I talked to Coach Reid about it today and we chuckled about it. I couldn’t be more proud of being his product on the field, and I couldn’t be more proud of where we’ve come as a team since I got here in 2013.”
