Travis Kelce admitted his emotions “got away” from him during his altercation with coach Andy Reid and even copped to “crossing a line” during the Super Bowl.
“I can’t get that fired up to the point where I’m bumping coach, and it’s getting him off balance and stuff,” the Kansas City Chiefs tight end said on Wednesday’s episode of his and brother Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast.
“When he stumbled I was like, ‘Oh, s–t,’ in my head.”
The Philadelphia Eagles player chastised his younger brother behaving in an “over-the-top” manner even though the team was in a high-pressure situation; however, Travis explained that Reid knows how much he loves and respects him.
“I’m not playing for anybody else but Big Red … and I got a certain relationship with him,” Travis, 34, shared. “He’s checked me a few times, and I just wanted to let him know that I wanted this thing, and he can put it on me.
“I got him,” he added.
The NFL star said his outburst came at a time when neither he nor his team were “playing very well.”
“We had to get some s–t going,” he said. “Sometimes those emotions just get away from me, man. That’s been the battle of my career.”
He also said he and Reid, 65, “chuckled” about the incident the day he recorded the podcast.
“I couldn’t be more proud of being his product on the field,” he said, “and I couldn’t be more proud of where we’ve come as the team since I got here in 2013.

“I just love playing for the guy, man,” he added. “Unfortunately, sometimes my passion comes out where it looks like it’s negativity. I’m grateful he knows it’s all because I want to win this thing with him more than anything.”
The athlete said his behavior was “unacceptable” and revealed that Reid warned him about cameras watching their every move.
“It just fired me up even more to go out there and get a f–king victory for him,” he said, adding, “Big Red, sorry if I caught you with that cheap shot, baby.”
After the Chiefs clinched their back-to-back Super bowl victory, a source told Page Six exclusively that he meant no harm.
“He’s just a passionate player and everyone’s on edge. It’s the Super Bowl! But there was no mal intent,” the insider shared.
“He respects Coach Reid. It’s really just about the passion of the game. It wasn’t anything serious.”
