Following the game, ESPN asked Kelce about his "very engaging conversation" with coach Reid, to which Taylor's boyfriend answered jokingly, "Aw, you guys saw that?"

Kelce also said as part of a press conference, "I got the greatest coach this game has ever seen. He's unbelievable, and not only ... at having everybody prepared, but he's one of the best leaders of men I've ever seen in my life."
He continued, "He's helped me a lot with channeling that emotion, with channeling that passion, and I owe my entire career to that guy and being able to control how emotional I get. I just love him."

Reid himself has also said lots of nice things about Kelce since his outburst, explaining, "The part I love is he loves to play the game, and he wants to help his team win. I mean, it's not a selfish thing, that's not what it is, and I understand that. And so, as much as he bumps into me, I get after him, and we understand that. And he just caught me off balance."
