Andy Reid Reveals Chiefs Embrace for ‘Kid’ Travis Kelce Over Patrick Mahomes: “He’s Our Personality”

During the second quarter of a nail-biting Super Bowl LVIII game at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Kelce seemed upset with Reid about how the team was playing. Throwing his helmet on the ground, Kelce stepped forward towards Reid, showing his meltdown episode that went viral on the internet. Since then, many have demanded some sort of punishment for his behavior with the coach. But Reid has no animosity towards his “kid” as he revealed the tight end’s popularity over Patrick Mahomes for the team in certain situations.

Talking about the Chiefs embracing Kelce over Mahomes, Reid happily revealed, “I mean I try to stay on top of him and make sure that he’s right because he’s our personality, of our team, as great a leader as Patrick is, everybody follows Kelce when he’s fired up. Everybody follows along in that and so things get a little crazy but that’s why it’s the job so great, his job’s great, my job’s great, we’re not getting put in the back of a police car for arguing with each other. That’s not what’s happened.”
