Despite a Super Bowl for the history books, fans can’t stop talking about one viral moment between Travis Kelce and his coach.
An overtime, last minute touchdown, comeback win... now that sounds like impressive stuff to be honest. What a way to end Super Bowl 58.
In case you missed the game (somehow), the Kansas City Chiefs managed to claw back into the game and take the game into overtime, the second Super Bowl overtime in NFL history.

In the final moments, the Kansas City Chiefs managed to score a final touchdown, defeating the San Francisco 49ers 25-22.
But before we got to this momentous finally, it has to be said the Chiefs had quite a nightmare getting out the gate.
So, tensions were running high, and Kelce was certainly one of the notable names losing his patience as the game looked like it could even turn into a blowout, 10-0 to the 49ers at one point.
After the chiefs lost a fumble in the second quarter, the 34-year-old and boyfriend to pop star Taylor Swift was seen screaming in the face of his coach Andy Reid.
Kelce even went as far as to bump his coach and had to be restrained by teammate Jerick McKinnon. Take a look:
Social media was quick to criticize Kelce, who at the time only had a disappointing 1 yard gained and 1 catch.
However, following the game, both Reid and Kelce had nothing but praise for each other. So, it was clear it was just the heat of the moment and at the Super Bowl the stakes can’t be higher.
And a source has claimed it was all down to the 'passion' of the game, saying to Page Six: "He respects Coach Reid. It’s really just about the passion of the game. It wasn’t anything serious."
Kelce even joked that when he was shouting at his coach, all he was doing was telling him 'how much he loved him'.
“I’m gonna keep it between us,” Kelce told ESPN. “I was just telling him how much I love him.”
In a more serious moment after the game, Kelce gave nothing but praise for Reid and the efforts he had made in bringing the team championships.
“I got the greatest coach this game has ever seen, he is unbelievable,” Kelce said following the game.
“Not only dialing up plays and having everybody prepared, he is one of the best leaders and men I have ever seen in my life.
“He has helped me a lot with that, with channeling that emotion, channeling that passion and I owe my entire career to that guy.
“Being able to kind of control how emotional I get. I just love him.”
