Fans are fawning over a heartwarming moment between Travis Kelce and his coach, Andy Reid, at the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Detroit Lions game on Monday, October 13.
Andy Reid’s response to Travis Kelce’s fall has fans talking
At one point during the match, Chiefs star Travis Kelce took a terrifying fall after catching a pass from Patrick Mahomes. When he was about to dive for the end zone, the tight end made contact with Lions cornerback Ya-Sin, who flipped him over his head.
Kelce hit the ground on his head, with the terrifying fall sparking concern among the crowd. Thankfully, Kelce did not show any sign of distress and swiftly got up to his feet. Shortly after, the Lions called for a timeout before the drive ended. This allowed Kelce to take a moment to recover properly.
It was at this time that Chiefs coach Andy Reid met up with the tight end to make sure he was alright. The camera captured the heartfelt moment when Reid gave a tender pat on the back of Kelce’s head and whispered some supportive words before letting him conclude the red zone drive.
Needless to say, fans are gushing over this wholesome exchange between Kelce and his coach. Many have since taken to social media to remark on the heartfelt moment. One user wrote, “Travis’s relationship with Reid is unique,” while another said, “That’s the behavior of adopted father/son.”
A third fan stated, “This is the moment I was looking for. The media won’t show this though. Travis is like Andy’s son & vice versa.” One more comment reads, “I love their relationship. Atta boy Trav.”
Kelce has been smashing it this season, appearing in all six games so far and recording 28 receptions for 321 yards and two touchdowns. Following a relatively quiet 2024 season, the NFL superstar marks a strong rebound, predicted to finish the season with around 909 receiving yards and five touchdowns (via The U.S. Sun).
