The Kansas City Chiefs are once again Super Bowl Champions after defeating the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime on Sunday night. It was their second Super Bowl victory in as many seasons and their third in the past five seasons. Patrick Mahomes became just the fifth quarterback ever with three Super Bowl victories while head coach Andy Reid became just the fifth NFL head coach to do the same.
The victory, though, was not without drama. The Chiefs trailed by 10 points at one point and needed to tie the game at the end of regulation and then win it as time expired in overtime. They also had to overcome mistakes by rookie running back Isiah Pacheco and Mahomes, who combined for three fumbles and two turnovers.
Kansas City Chiefs Tight End Travis Kelce Was Not Happy to Not Be on the Field on the Fumble Play
On Pacheco’s fumble, which occurred inside the red zone, starting tight end Travis Kelce was subbed out. Following the play, he was caught on camera bumping and yelling at Coach Reid:

The video went viral on social media, and Kelce was criticized heavily by fans for his antics. After the game, however, both Reid and Kelce brushed the incident off.

After the game, Kelce was asked about Coach Reid and the incident on the sidelines. He replied:
Andy Reid says Travis Kelce caught him off balance with his shove, told Reid to put him in and he’d score.
Travis credited Andy not only as play caller but also for helping him learn to manage his emotions. “I owe entire my career to that guy.” pic.twitter.com/d9Lt7pZBle

“I got the greatest coach this game has ever seen. Unbelievable not only at dialing up plays and having everyone prepared, but he is also one of the best leaders of men that I have ever seen in my life.
“And, uh, he’s helped me a lot with that. Channeling that emotion and channeling that passion. I owe my entire career to that guy and being able to control how emotional I get, and I just love him.”
For his part, Reid said it looked worse on camera than it actually was. He stumbled because Kelce caught him by surprise. They addressed the incident together and moved on.
And then they won the Super Bowl.
