Tom Brady completely understood where Kelce was coming from.

One of Super Bowl LVIII’s most talked-about moments was Travis Kelce’s heated exchange with Andy Reid. While the situation left many who watched feeling uneasy, Tom Brady completely understood where Kelce was coming from.

Brady played in a record 10 Super Bowls, so no one understands the pressure and emotion of that situation better than him. Along with defending Kelce’s actions, Brady lauded how Reid handled the situation.

“There’s always little family issues,” Brady said on his “Let’s Go!” podcast. “I don’t mind seeing it, because I was a part of a lot of those things. Emotions are so high, you are definitely not centered and balanced. You’re not in a meditative state at that point. You are fully determined to go out there and to win. I think a lot of the things that are said during the games, people should just let them fly off their back.

“I actually think Coach Reid handled it just awesome, like he always does. He just said, ‘You know, I was a little off balance, and Travis is such a competitor.’ I love that, because it just speaks to his leadership ability. Some coaches would get so sensitive and, ‘Oh, you embarrassed me.’ You’re a competitor and you’re an athlete. You get out there and you have the credibility that Travis has and you’ve had that All-Pro experience and you’ve won Super Bowls.”
