Andy Reid made the decision to bench Kelce during a crucial play in the red zone, which further angered the tight end. Kelce firmly believed that he could have made a successful conversion if given the opportunity.
Despite the heated exchange, Kelce and Reid quickly resolved their differences. They embraced and Reid showed his support by patting Kelce on the back before the end of the first half. The coach understands Kelce’s passion for the game and respects him for it.
The San Francisco 49ers successfully contained Kelce throughout the first half, limiting him to just one catch for a single yard. This lack of production added to Kelce’s frustration.
