Plenty of eyes were on Travis Kelce during Super Bowl LVIII for various reasons. Not only is he a key player for a Kansas City Chiefs team that defied the odds and made the biggest game of the season, but he’s dating the biggest pop star in the world.
This is why people couldn’t help but be fascinated when the two-time Super Bowl champion was caught letting it all out on his coach late in the first half of the big game.
Late in the first half of Super Bowl LVIII, the Kansas City Chiefs were trailing behind the San Francisco 49ers, 10-3. While there were still two quarters of football left to be played, it couldn’t be avoided that some players would feel the edge.
It seemed like the tight end was feeling frustrated about how the game was going. As a man who wore his heart on his sleeve, he wasn’t shy about letting Chiefs head coach Andy Reid know his thoughts on something related to the game.

It didn’t take long for the rest of NFL Twitter to catch on and put their own spin on the moment.
One made the New Heights host make a drive-thru order that would put Big Smoke to shame:
“55 BURGERS, 55 FRIES, 55 TACOS, 55 PIES, 55 COKES, 100 TATER TOTS, 100 PIZZAS, 100 TENDERS, 100 MEATBALLS, 100 COFFEES, 55 WINGS, 55 SHAKES, 55 PANCAKES, 55 PASTAS, 55 PEPPERS AND 155 TATERS” pic.twitter.com/EDCY9z3FTS

More fans also saw the emotion the 34-year-old showed as relatable when their orders don’t come out right:

Others took the low-hanging fruit and used it to make a Taylor Swift joke:

While it was a surprising moment for many new football fans, all’s well that ends well for Chiefs Kingdom. Kelce finished the game with nine receptions for 93 yards to propel the Chiefs to another Super Bowl and put a bow tie to an unforgettable season for him.
