Travis Kelce and Andy Reid disagree on who is to blame for Chiefs’ Super Bowl loss

Published

Many fingers were pointed in various directions after the two-time reigning champion Kansas City Chiefs fell completely flat against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, keeping the scoreline remotely close at 40-22 thanks to a flurry of garbage time scores.

 

Both modest, star Travis Kelce and coach Andy Reid assigned the blame in different directions. The veteran tight end took a more general, team-centric approach while Reid looked right in the mirror.

 

 

 

“I already congratulated the Eagles. They were firing on all cylinders coming out and it just felt like we just never had control over what was going on in that game,” Kelce effusively said of his Super Bowl opponents on a recent episode of his ‘New Heights’ podcast.

“The effort, the focus, and the work that we put in, that wasn’t the reason (why Chiefs lost),” the 35-year-old continued. “Honestly, going into the game, I felt as confident as I ever felt in going into a Super Bowl or a playoff game or a big game in my life.”

“For a bunch of reasons, it just didn’t happen. Every time we made a big play or we got something going, a penalty would happen or we were going backward,” he concluded. Kansas City was flagged seven times for 75 (the Eagles were dinged for eight penalties).

“Then, on top of that, just not executing the play calls. It wasn’t the play calls. It was a cumulative effort of everybody just not finding a way to get it done. To happen on the biggest stage sucks, but, to have it happen for the second time in my career on the biggest stage, it’s tough,” Kelce admitted

The tight end finished the contest with four catches for 39 yards as he concluded arguably the worst season of his professional career.

Reid, a three-time Super. Bowl champion and the fourth-winningest coach in NFL history sang a slightly different tune in his Super Bowl postgame press conference.

“Compliment to our fans and all the support they’ve given us,” the 66-year-old said after Super Bowl 59. “Today was a rough day, didn’t really play well in any of the phases, didn’t coach good enough. They did a nice job.”

“I’m proud of our guys though, the battle and the fight they put in throughout the year, all the games that they played here over the last few years,” he continued. “My hat goes off to the guys for that.”

ESPN talking head Stephen A. Smith fully agreed on his show ‘First Take.’ “There is no excuse for a man known for being a damn good play-caller,” he said of Reid.

“This is all-time [bad]. Your quarterback, who is considered one of the top two quarterbacks in the history of the game, had a QBR of 1. I don’t care how bad Patrick Mahomes is, he ain’t that damn bad.”
