Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had a heated sideline exchange with head coach Andy Reid during Sunday\u2019s game against the Giants. Kelce addressed the incident on Friday, insisting it was no big deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love that guy<\/a>, man. There\u2019s nothing outside of this building that\u2019s going to make me feel any different way,\u201d Kelce said, via Jesse Newell of TheAthletic.com. \u201cAnd we know exactly each other\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

NBC cameras caught Kelce and Reid jawing at each other in the first half, and Reid bumped into the tight end during the exchange.<\/p>\n

It was a similar scene to their sideline spat during Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kelce said on Friday that fans should make of the incident \u201cwhat coach Reid made of it.\u201d Reid downplayed the incident<\/a> earlier this week, saying he loves Kelce\u2019s passion.<\/p>\n

Kelce would not say what precipitated his blowup. <\/p>\n

He was asked whether it was the third-and-12 incompletion intended for Noah Gray and answered, \u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reid, however, doesn\u2019t want Kelce to change.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe wants to make sure he gets that point across to the guys, and so he does that,\u201d Reid said. \u201cI\u2019m OK with that part. He knows also, like the coaches know, where we can go with this, too, and the growth we can have here, and we need to take care of business in that area.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had a heated sideline exchange with head coach Andy Reid during Sunday\u2019s game…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":184321,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-184320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184320","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=184320"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184320\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/184321"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=184320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=184320"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=184320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
