Fans Urge Travis Kelce to 'Do Better' After Super Bowl Meltdown
Travis Kelce #87 of the Kansas City Chiefs reacts in the first quarter against the San Francisco 49ers during Super Bowl LVIII
Travis Kelce is visibly feeling the pressure.
The record-breaking Kansas City Chiefs tight end, who is competing in Super Bowl 2024 against the San Francisco 49ers, was caught on camera in an emotional moment on the sidelines where he bumped coach Andy Reid with his chest, while seemingly screaming in his face.
It has always been common knowledge that Kelce is passionate about the game he loves, but in this specific moment where he became a bit overwhelmed with emotion, fans were divided on his actions, taking to social media to express their thoughts on the now-viral clip.

"Travis Kelce gotta do better man," one X user simply wrote alongside the snippet.
"Up until 2 weeks ago I liked Travis Kelce. After seeing what he did to Justin Tucker it really pissed me off…. Now, treating your own coach like this?" one wrote, in part, seemingly confused at the athlete's misplaced energy.
"Not a good look from Travis Kelce at all," another social media user admitted, while someone else shared a strong opinion on the matter: "Travis Kelce should be ASHAMED of himself for assaulting Andy Reid like this on NATIONAL TV. He is a grown man. SHOW SOME RESPECT…"
Several more pointed out his passion for football, realizing that often people can become overwhelmed in the moment, especially during a career moment as big as this.
This year, the Chiefs are attempting back-to-back Super Bowl wins, following their victory against the Philadelphia Eagles in 2023. Additionally, Super Bowl LVIII is the Chiefs’ fourth time making it to the championship game in five years—they came out victorious in 2020, too, also against the 49ers.
