Emotions Run High as Helmet Thrown and Tempers Flare
During the first half of the game, tensions rose between Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce and head coach Andy Reid. Witnesses reported that Kelce launched his helmet at the watercooler stand in frustration. A heated exchange between the player and coach ensued, with Reid denying Kelce’s request for his helmet back.
The back-and-forth escalated, but in a surprising turn of events, the two appeared to bump each other in a seemingly friendly manner. After the game, Reid was asked about the incident and downplayed any concerns.
Reid stated, “Yeah, listen, I mean, he went back in and did a nice job. So, things happen, emotional game. Trav’s emotional and sometimes my red hair gets to me a little bit, but it all works out.” He emphasized that he did not believe a “frustration point” had been reached.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes Reflects on Team’s Performance
It appears Kelce was not the only one frustrated during the game. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes expressed his own frustrations with the offensive line at one point. However, he remained optimistic about the team’s future and their upcoming match against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17.
Mahomes stated, “I mean, all you can do is just move on to the next day, the next game. We’re going to be playing a Cincinnati team that obviously wants to beat us. They’re playing good football, their quarterback is playing really well, their defense has always been strong. All you can do is move on, learn from your mistakes, and strive to be better the next time we step on the field.”
Chiefs’ Record Affected by Loss
