After Travis Kelce’s blow-up on Andy Reid went viral, many wondered what he could have possibly said to his coach. Kelce and Reid were asked about the incident after winning the Super Bowl, but the tight end was more coy about his answer than Reid. Kelce told NFL Primetime, “Imma keep it between us … I was just telling him how much I love him.” Kelce playfully brushed off the incident, but Reid gave more insight on the heated argument, telling reporters that he was begging to be in the game (via Sports Illustrated). But, there’s no need to speculate, we know Kelce was mic’d up. However, it seems the Chiefs are doing everything to make sure that audio doesn’t get released.
According to the New York Post, “Inside the NFL” will typically share some behind-the-scenes moments of NFL games and what players had to say while mic’d up. They showed Patrick Mahomes reacting to Isiah Pachecho’s fumble before cutting to Kelce’s outburst on Reid. But if you thought they would release the audio, well, you would be wrong. Instead, they had Tony Romo voice over the audio, telling viewers that Kelce told Reid to keep him in the game. The outlet’s sources revealed that they believe the Chiefs “blocked NFL Films,” which has control over the audio, and “Inside the NFL” from airing the conversation. This was reportedly an order from Reid himself. So, will we ever know what Kelce said? It’s unlikely.
