Jason Kelce Tells Travis He 'Crossed the Line' During the Super Bowl

Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce told his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, that he “crossed the line” during his heated argument with coach Andy Reid during the second quarter of Super Bowl LVIII.

Early in the Chiefs' eventual Super Bowl victory, broadcast cameras captured Travis bumping into Reid while yelling after the Chiefs' third offensive drive ended with a fumble by running back Isiah Pacheco.

'You crossed the line. I think we can both agree on that,” Jason said on the latest episode of their podcast, New Heights. “Let's be honest: the screaming in his face is also exaggerated. I think there are better ways to address this retroactively.”

Travis acknowledged that he had gone too far, saying he “can't get that high” to the point where he “bumps into the coach and it throws him off balance and stuff.”

Travis later added that he only wants to play for Reid and that if Reid were to retire, he would follow suit.

There was a lot of talk about the incident after the Chiefs won 25-22 in overtime, but Reid made light of it.

“He threw me off balance,” Reid said. 'I wasn't looking. He actually came over (and said), 'Put me in, I'll score. I'll score.' So that's basically it. I love that. It's not the first time. I appreciate him.”

Reid went on to say that he loves Kelce's passion, saying, “It's not selfish.”

“No matter how many times he encounters me, I will follow him and we understand that. He just threw me off balance.”
