Andy Reid bumps Travis Kelce amid heated exchange on Chiefs sideline

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and coach Andy Reid were caught exchanging a few words on the sideline in Sunday night’s matchup against the New York Giants. Cameras captured the pair yelling at each other in the first half following a drive that resulted in a missed field goal despite the Chiefs taking over at the Giants 47-yard line following an interception.

It was clear frustrations from how the offense, which had still yet to score a touchdown were boiling over. Reid even bumped the tight end slightly as the two continued to get in each other’s face and passionately state their case.

The Chiefs offense hasn’t been as potent as usual to start this season as it is down two of its top receivers. Xavier Worthy suffered an injury in Week 1 while Rashee Rice is still serving a six-game suspension.

That has made things difficult for Kelce, quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the rest of the team, which is off to an 0-2 start on the season. Those offensive struggles have certainly been on display in Sunday night’s game with the Chiefs leading just 6-0 in the second quarter.

It wouldn’t be long after the altercation between Andy Reid and Travis Kelce that the Giants would go on to score their first touchdown of the game. Running back Cam Skattebo ran in a 13-yard touchdown to tie the game 6-6 after the extra point was blocked.

That’s where the score still stands heading into halftime. Kelce has caught just three of seven targets for 13 yards this far, and he’ll hope to turn things around in the second half as the Chiefs look for their first win.

Xavier Worthy injury: Travis Kelce takes blame for Kansas City Chiefs WR being sidelined

Travis Kelce took the blame for teammate Xavier Worthy’s injury in the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. The collision between the two pass catchers occurred in the first quarter with Kelce and Worthy running routes in opposite directions.

Worthy headed to the Chiefs’ locker room shortly after reaching the sideline. The team initially ruled him as questionable to return before announcing he wouldn’t be returning due to a shoulder injury.

Kelce cited being in the league for so long that he’s got to be better in that situation. It’s unclear how long Worthy will be out and the future Hall of Fame tight end put the onus on himself.

“I’m supposed to be running my route at depth for Worthy,” Kelce said on New Heights. “So, it’s frustrating for me. I was trying to kind of set up my guy to be able to get into position, and it all just happened pretty quick. I just gotta be better, man. I’m 13 years in the league. There is no excuse for me running into my own guys like that.”
