Jason Kelce let his younger brother Travis Kelce know exactly how he feels about the latter’s heated altercation with Andy Reid during Super Bowl 58.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end was shown bumping into the head coach, knocking him off balance, and screaming into his face as he fumed about being left out while the team struggled to find its offense.
The brothers discussed the incident on their ‘New Heights’ podcast this week, with the Philadelphia Eagles center letting his sibling know he was wrong.
“You crossed the line. I think we can both agree on that,” Jason said. “Let’s be honest, the yelling in his face, too, is over the top. I think there are better ways to handle this, retrospectively.”

Travis agreed that he went overboard as he admitted he “can’t get that fired up” to the point where he ends up “bumping coach and it’s getting him off balance and stuff.”
The three-time Super Bowl winner also revealed he only wants to play for Reid and would follow him should he choose to retire. Of course, that’s not happening with a threepeat now a possibility.
“He caught me off balance,” Reid told reporters after the game. “I wasn’t watching. He was really coming over (and saying), ‘Just put me in, I’ll score. I’ll score.’ So, that’s really what it was. I love that. It’s not the first time. I appreciate him.
“As much as he bumps into me, I get after him and we understand that. He just caught me off balance.”
