Andy Reid on Travis Kelce’s first-quarter outburst: ‘He keeps me young’

#Chiefs head coach Andy Reid explained what happened during Travis Kelce’s first quarter outburst on the sideline at Super Bowl LVIII.

Andy Reid wasn’t shy in talking to the media about Travis Kelce’s first-quarter outburst that left fans scratching their heads during the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl LVIII win over the San Francisco 49ers.

After running back Isiah Pacheco fumbled the ball inside the 10-yard line early in the game, Kelce exchanged some passionate words with Reid, prompting many to believe that something was awry on the Chiefs’ sideline.

But when Kansas City secured its victory against the 49ers, Reid was gracious in his explanation of what happened during comments to the post-game crew.

“He keeps me young,” Reid said, laughing. “It tested that hip out. He caught me off balance. Usually, I’d give him a little bit [back], but I didn’t have any feet under me.”

It would seem that winning truly cures all, and after a momentous victory on the NFL’s biggest stage, Reid, Kelce, and the rest of Kansas City’s roster are sure to rest east, even if the heart-pounding matchup made emotions run high.

Twitter reacts to Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes’ sideline outburst vs. Patriots

Twitter users shared their thoughts on #Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes’ outburst on the sideline during Kansas City’s matchup against the #Patriots

The Kansas City Chiefs only managed to beat the New England Patriots by two scores in Week 15 after beleaguered wide receiver Kadarius Toney singlehandedly caused a seven-point swing midway through the fourth quarter.

Reigning MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes targeted Toney on what seemed to be a routine pass over the middle. Toney proceeded to bobble the ball as he attempted to reel it in, and Patriots linebacker Jahlani Tavai stepped in to intercept the throw.

Mahomes was none too pleased when he got back to the sideline. He exchanged some firey words with a coach when he sat down on the bench and was visibly distressed.

Kansas City’s receivers have let Mahomes down all season, and for the second straight week, Toney has managed to put himself into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. While Mahomes’ frustration was warranted, social media had a field day when videos of the outburst hit the internet.
