Travis Kelce is getting a reminder to respect your elders, whether that’s a coach or a sibling.

The Chiefs outlasted the 49ers in Super Bowl 58, with a dramatic overtime victory sealing their third championship ring in five seasons. Of course, there was plenty of drama in all aspects of the game, not just on the field.

 

Early in the matchup, cameras caught Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce giving Kansas City head coach Andy Reid an earful, which isn’t exactly out of the ordinary for gameday when emotions run high. What was unusual, was Kelce bumping into Reid and nearly knocking him off balance, something which raised eyebrows across the NFL sphere.

Kelce’s older brother Jason took notice of the incident and didn’t let his younger brother off the hook quite easily on the Valentine’s Day edition of the “New Heights” podcast:

“You crossed the line, I think we can both agree on that,” Jason Kelce said. “Even the yelling in his face, too, is over the top. I think there’s better ways to handle this, retrospectively.”

Travis would go on to say that he’s a passionate guy and reinforce that he loves playing for Reid, and who can blame him? He’s now secured three championship rings and has become one of the best tight ends in league history under Reid’s tenure.

Reid would brush off the incident, saying that Kelce’s blowup came from a desire to wanting to be on the field during the game.

The Reid bump became a major talking point during the Super Bowl broadcast, with the CBS halftime show scolding Kelce during analysis of the game. Kelce and Reid also quickly became an internet meme, with the image of a red-hot Kelce screaming at “Big Red” going viral.

In any case, time heals all wounds. Wednesday’s championship parade should accelerate that a bit.
