Everyone is trying to read lips these days.
During the second quarter of the Super Bowl, Isiah Pacheco fumbled inside the red zone, and Travis Kelce, not on the field at the time, expressed his frustration.
The Chiefs tight end dashed over to head coach Andy Reid and let out a yell, bumping the 65-year-old Chiefs coach back a few steps.
Though the moment was captured on replay, it was difficult to discern exactly what Kelce said to Reid. However, a professional lip reader shed light on the matter.
The tight end shouted, ‘Keep me in. You f****r! I’m calm now!’ – after lip readers decoded the pair’s viral exchange according to The Daily Mail.

The tight end shouted, ‘Keep me in. You f****r! I’m calm now!’ – after lip readers decoded the pair’s viral exchange according to The Daily Mail.
Following Kansas City’s overtime victory against the 49ers in the Super Bowl, both Travis Kelce and Andy Reid addressed the viral confrontation between them.
Reid played down the incident in his post-game remarks, mentioning that Kelce caught him off guard and “normally I’d give him a little bit, but I didn’t have any feet under me.” He also shared that Kelce apologized afterward.
“He came over and gave me a hug, said ‘sorry about that.’ He just wants to be on the field … He’s a competitive kid, and he loves to play. He makes me feel young.”
Kelce, speaking during ESPN’s postgame show, alluded to the incident, saying, “You guys saw that? I’m going to keep it between us unless my mic’d up tells the world. I was just telling him how much I loved him.”
After a slow start with just one catch for 1 yard in the first half while the Chiefs trailed 10-3, Kelce came alive after the halftime break and a splendid Usher show. He finished with nine catches for 93 yards as his Chiefs emerged victorious.
With his team-leading 93 receiving yards, Kelce joined an elite group, becoming the third player in NFL history to lead three different Super Bowl champions in receiving yards, alongside Jerry Rice and Michael Irvin.
