The first half of Super Bowl 58 was full of frustration for Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. He finished the half with just one target and nearly knocked over his head coach in the process.
During the first half, the Chiefs head coach removed Kelce from the game to set up a first-down play in the red zone. Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco immediately fumbled for a 49ers recovery. Moments later, the CBS broadcast showed Kelce getting into Reid’s face and actually making contact with the head coach.

As fiery as the moment was when it happened, the scene was actually prime material for NFL Twitter/X.
Fans appropriately responded by turning the heated moment into an outstanding meme from the Super Bowl.
