Chiefs' Andy Reid brushes off latest heated incident with Travis Kelce

The Kansas City Chiefs could start the season 0-2 for the first time since 2014 if they lose to the Philadelphia Eagles. Colin Cowherd and Tom Brady discuss how much pressure is on Patrick Mahomes entering Week 2.

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid downplayed the latest sideline incident with tight end Travis Kelce during their win over the New York Giants on Sunday.

The heated exchange occurred late in the second quarter after the Chiefs’ drive stalled while the offense got off to a sloppy start to the game. Kelce came off the field and Reid bumped his shoulder into his player’s chest. The two said their peace before walking away.

Reid said at halftime he was hoping for more "juice" from his players and didn’t think too much of the interaction with Kelce.

"Don’t make too much of it. He’s a passionate guy and I love that part. I’ve been through a lot of things with him so that’s all part of it. I love that he loves to play the game. That’s what I love. It’s an emotional game, so I’ll take it," he said, via Pro Football Talk.

"I love Travis’s passion, so I’m OK with that. We didn’t have enough of it in the second quarter, we weren’t where we needed to be. He knows when to back off the pedal and he knows when to push it too. That’s part of what I love about him. The guy’s all-in. Just sometimes I have to be the policeman. He was all-in. He was all-in. Listen, he’s an emotional guy. He’s Irish."
