The Kansas City Chiefs and Oakland Raiders rivalry is one of the most heated in the NFL, and it was on full display during their Week 13 matchup. After a controversial call late in the fourth quarter, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid and tight end Travis Kelce had an animated discussion on the sideline.
The incident began when the Raiders were called for a defensive holding penalty, which would have given the Chiefs a first down and a chance to run out the clock. However, the officials overturned the call and instead gave the Chiefs a five-yard penalty for an illegal formation. This led to Reid and Kelce engaging in a heated exchange on the sideline.
Reid was clearly frustrated with the call and wanted to make sure his players knew that he was not happy with the decision. He was seen pointing his finger at Kelce and shouting at him, while Kelce responded with some choice words of his own. After the game, both Reid and Kelce addressed the incident.
Reid said that he was just trying to get his point across to his players and that he has no hard feelings towards Kelce. He also said that he respects Kelce as a player and that he was just trying to get his team to focus on the task at hand.
Kelce echoed Reid’s sentiments, saying that he respects Reid as a coach and that he was just trying to get his point across. He also said that he understands why Reid was so passionate about the call and that he was just trying to get his team to stay focused on the game.
The incident between Reid and Kelce is a reminder of how intense the rivalry between the Chiefs and Raiders can be. While it may have been an emotional moment, it is clear that both Reid and Kelce have a tremendous amount of respect for each other and are focused on getting the best out of their team.
