Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is no stranger to going viral on social media.
While it’s typically because of something related to his fiancée Taylor Swift or because a sound bite from his “New Heights” podcast, this time it was because Kelce came unglued, and head coach Andy Reid was on the receiving end of his tantrum.
During the Chiefs’ 22-9 Week 3 win over the New York Giants on “Sunday Night Football,” a visibly upset Kelce stormed back to the sideline after a missed field goal and purposely chest-bumped the 67-year-old Reid as the two shouted at each other for a few moments.
Reid downplayed the severity of the incident after the game, telling reporters he had no issue with Kelce’s fiery actions.

“He’s a passionate guy and I love that part,” Reid said, via KC Sports Network. “I’ve been through a lot of things with him, so that’s all part of it. I love that he loves to play the game. That’s what I love.”
While fans have heard Reid’s side of things, Kelce cleared the air on the incident on Friday during an interview with Sam McDowell of the Kansas City Star.
“What Andy made of it — I love that guy, man,” Kelce said. “There’s nothing outside of this building that’s going to make me feel any different way. We know exactly each other’s intentions. I think what Coach Reid does best is he challenges guys to be at their best, and I love that about him. It definitely helped me take my game to another level that game.”

Sunday’s game wasn’t the first time Kelce and Reid have gotten into it on the sidelines during a game.
Kelce famously went viral two seasons ago for getting into another heated confrontation with Reid during Super Bowl LVIII against the San Francisco 49ers. During that instance, Kelce grabbed Reid by the arm and shouted at him for a few seconds before cooler heads prevailed.
Reid told reporters after that game — a 25-22 overtime victory — that he also had no issue with Kelce’s outburst because it came from a place of passion.
