Travis Kelce Acknowledges He Went Too Far in Tense Super Bowl Moment
“I talked to coach Reid today and we kind of chuckled about it,” Travis explained. “I couldn’t be more proud of being his product on the field, and couldn’t be more proud of where we’ve come, as a team, since I got here in 2013. I just love playing for the guy. And unfortunately my passion comes out where it looks like negativity, but I’m grateful that he knows it’s all because I want to win this thing.”
And indeed, when addressing the incident after the game, Andy laughed the moment off.
“He didn’t know I was going to go that far,” the 65-year-old joked to ESPN of his stumble in the on-air interview. “Then he came over and gave me a hug, said, ‘Sorry about that.’ But you know what? He just wants to be on the field and he wants to play.”
He added, “There’s nobody I get better than I get him, he’s a competitive kid and he loves to play. And he makes me feel young, but my balance is terrible.”
Ultimately, all the energy on and off the field paid off when the Chiefs narrowly beat the San Francisco 49ers in overtime during their Feb. 11 showdown. And the celebration afterwards—which naturally included Taylor Swift—was one to remember.
