Patrick Mahomes BLASTS Travis Kelce and Andy Reid After Win – Postgame Interview | Chiefs vs Giants
The Kansas City Chiefs walked away with a win over the New York Giants, but instead of a celebration, the postgame spotlight turned into a storm. Patrick Mahomes shocked reporters when he openly called out both tight end Travis Kelce and head coach Andy Reid during his postgame interview.
The MVP quarterback, usually measured and diplomatic, showed rare frustration as he spoke about what happened on the field.
Mahomes vs. Kelce
When asked about the offense’s slow start, Mahomes didn’t hold back:
“We can’t keep putting ourselves in bad situations because of selfish play. I don’t care who it is — we’ve got to play as a team.”
Reporters immediately picked up that he was referring to Travis Kelce, who had a crucial dropped pass and was flagged for unnecessary roughness in the second quarter. Mahomes, normally protective of his teammates, made it clear he felt Kelce’s mistakes nearly cost the Chiefs the game.
Mahomes Calls Out Andy Reid
Even more shocking was Mahomes’ tone toward head coach Andy Reid.
“At some point, we’ve got to adjust. I’m out there fighting every down, but if we don’t make changes when things clearly aren’t working, we’re just making it harder on ourselves.”
The remark was seen as a direct jab at Reid’s conservative play-calling, especially in the red zone where Kansas City settled for field goals instead of touchdowns.
Locker Room Tension
Sources inside the locker room said the atmosphere after the game was tense. Kelce reportedly didn’t speak to media, and Reid brushed off questions about Mahomes’ comments, simply saying, “We’ll handle that internally.”
But the damage may already be done. Rarely does a franchise quarterback air grievances so publicly, and Mahomes’ decision to speak out shows there may be cracks inside the Chiefs’ dynasty.
What This Means Going Forward
The Chiefs got the win, but the story leaving MetLife Stadium wasn’t the scoreboard — it was Mahomes putting his star tight end and legendary coach on blast. Whether this lights a fire under the team or creates lasting division will be the storyline to watch in the weeks ahead.
