Travis Kelce might be one of the biggest names in the NFL, but he had little influence in the first half of the Super Bowl.
And an angry act against his head coach has drawn the ire of viewers around the world.
As the Chiefs’ battled to get into the match, cameras caught the moment Kelce fired up at and grabbed head coach Andy Reid after teammate Isiah Pacheco’s fumble inside the red zone during the second quarter.

The 65-year-old Kansas City Chiefs coach stumbled a couple of steps back.
Kelce, with girlfriend Taylor Swift watching from a suite, ran over to Reid and screamed at him after the fumble. It’s believed Kelce was angry he wasn’t on the field for the play and yelled at Reid to keep him in the game.

It’s the second sideline incident involving Kelce and Reid this season. During a game against the Raiders on Christmas Day, an angry Kelce spiked his helmet on the sideline, and when a staff member tried to hand it back to the tight end so that he could take the field, Reid grabbed the helmet and refused to give it back.
Kelce only has one catch for 1 yard on the day. On that last third down from the Niners, he lined up in the slot and was covered by safety Ji’Ayir Brown.
Kelce appeared to swing an arm in frustration when Patrick Mahomes was taken down before being able to throw.
