Kansas City Chiefs Travis Kelce is receiving major backlash from NFL fans after he shoved Kansas City head coach Andy Reid during the Super Bowl.
Kelce's meltdown happened after the star tight end was angry that he didn't receive a pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes during the Chiefs' offensive series.
In response to Kelce not getting the ball, Reed took Kelce off the next play, which angered Kelce and caused the 34-year-old to push and yell at Reed, 65.

For each country SB:
The Super Bowl can lead to some wild moments, but no one had Travis Kelce running wild and screaming at Andy Reid over his bingo card.
This came after the most up-and-down sequence of the Super Bowl for the Chiefs. Kelce felt he was open and was asking for the ball before Patrick Mahomes hit a deep shot to Mecole Hardman, which was completed. At this point, Reid took Kelce out of the game on the ensuing play, which ended up being a crucial fumble by Isiah Pacheco, which took the wind out of the Chiefs' sails.
Kelce was angry that he wasn't in the game during the play, and seemed to think he could have had some sort of impact on the fumble — or that the play was called for him, instead of running the ball into the end zone.

Early in his career, Kece was beloved by NFL fans around the league, but after doing a Pfizer commercial and dating pop star Taylor Swift, NFL fans outside of Kansas City were no longer enamored with the superstar. NFL.
