Travis Kelce speaks up about why he bumped and confronted Andy Reid during the Super Bowl, saying, “It was purely Unintentional and I…” The NFL suspended him for three years.

After making it through his NFL career without putting a hand on Chuck Noll, Terry Bradshaw seemed surprised by Travis Kelce’s altercation with Andy Reid.

It’s been a minute since NFL fans heard from Bradshaw.

With CBS hosting Super Bowl LVIII and Bradshaw missing Fox’s NFC Championship coverage due to an illness, there was plenty for the Hall of Fame quarterback to catch up on during his Thursday afternoon appearance on The Rich Eisen Show.

Near the start of the interview, Eisen asked Bradshaw about Kelce bumping Reid on the sideline during the Kansas City Chiefs 25-22 Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

“I felt bad for Andy because Andy had had hip surgery,” Bradshaw admitted to Eisen. “He had his game plan in his hand. And when Kelce went over, Kelce didn’t push him, Kelce went over and he accidentally bumped him, I don’t think he pushed him or anything. It was an accident, but it looked bad on television.”

It certainly would have been something if Reid toppled over and his play sheet went flying onto the field. I’m also not sure whether Reid’s recent hip surgery was as widely known as Bradshaw made it seem.

Terry Bradshaw ‘felt bad’ for Andy Reid during Travis Kelce altercation: He just ‘had hip surgery.’

As Reid laughed off the altercation after the game, the 65-year-old NFL head coach did joke that the bump from Kelce “tested that hip out.” So he probably doesn’t mind Bradshaw referencing his surgery. Bradshaw added that he texted Reid after the game and was surprised to immediately get a response from the Chiefs head coach amid all the pomp and circumstance that comes with winning the Super Bowl.
