Tempers ran high on the Kansas City Chiefs sideline during their Christmas day game against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 16. The frustration reached its peak when star tight end Travis Kelce was seen throwing his helmet in a moment of exasperation, adding to the signs of discontent on the Chiefs' bench.

In his New Heights podcast with his brother Jason Kelce, who is also an NFL veteran, Travis Kelce addressed the helmet-toss incident. He did not make any excuses for his behavior and showed remorse in response to Jason's question about what happened.

Travis explained, "I didn't go back out there and play well. He [head coach Andy Reid] wanted to see the fire in me, and I reacted in a negative way. He was trying to bring out the best in me. Right now, my performance isn't at its peak... As a leader of this team, that's not how you change the momentum."

Fans were able to resonate with Travis' frustration towards the Chiefs' disappointing performance against the Raiders. Furthermore, they appreciated his contrite response to the incident on the sideline.

Only two weeks remain in the 2023 regular season, and it is crucial for both the Kansas City Chiefs and Travis Kelce to address and rectify their issues promptly. Failure to do so may result in missed opportunities and jeopardize their chances of competing in the playoffs scheduled for January.
