Heated exchanges on the sideline are nothing new for Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and head coach Andy Reid.

However, the one in Week 3 game against the New York Giants was a bit different.

Kelce and Reid got into it in the second quarter and Reid actually threw a bit of a shoulder into his tight end as the two exchanged words.

It isn't clear what was going on there, but we know it was pleasant based on the video evidence.

The Chiefs' offense has been a mess through two games this season and things don't look to be getting any better in Week 3, so that's likely behind the frustration between the two.

Adding to that, Kelce is off to a quiet start in the contest and the Chiefs are trying to stave-off an 0-3 start, two things that are likely only making things worse.

We've seen the pair get into arguments on the sideline over the years, but they seem to be more common lately. Kelce threw a tantrum on the sideline in Week 2.

"Listen, he was trying to get guys fired up and going," Reid said of Kelce after the Week 2 contest. "That’s him. He’s that way every week if you keep an eye on him so he’s all-in all the time. That’s the way he was today."

We'll see if things settle down as the game progresses, but Kansas City getting things going on offense will certainly help.
