Travis Kelce angers Kansas City Chiefs fans with sideline request in middle of game and ask 'he seriously asked this?'

TRAVIS Kelce angered Kansas City Chiefs fans with a cheeky request on the sideline in the middle of a game.

The Hall of Fame-bound star has had a mixed start to the 2024-25 NFL season, struggling at the very beginning.

He failed to live up to his usual high form during the opening three games of the campaign.

But the tight end had a breakout performance against the Los Angeles Chargers last weekend.

That has helped the Chiefs get off to a 4-0 start, as head coach Andy Reid looks to guide his team to another Super Bowl .

Kelce celebrated his 35th birthday on Saturday 5 October, which included a lavish birthday party.

In honor of their star man, the Chiefs posted a throwback video of Kelce on their official Instagram account.

The clip was of the nine time Pro Bowler on the sidelines in a game during his illustrious career.

They captioned it: "No better day to pull out some of greatest hits."

Kelce, who had a different hairstyle at the time, is seen making a request to a Chiefs assistant.

He asks them to call his mom, Donna, about what he wants for dinner that night.

"Can you call my mother for me from that phone right there," Travis says.

The assistant replies that he doesn't know if he can use the telephone on the sideline.

"Tell her that I don't want the macaroni and cheese with the regular noodles," Travis goes on.

"I want the gnocchi."

The pair then have a back and forth on how to pronounce the Italian dish gnocchi.

"I'll get that right," the assistant replies.

"Yeah, not the regular noodles," Travis adds.

"The ganache noodles."

Fans reacted with shock and anger that Kelce would have the non-serious conversation in the middle of a game.

One social media user said: "He seriously asked this?"

Another added: "All this while I was thinking they talking tactics there."

A third replied: "He's like a golden retriever."

Kelce's girlfriend Taylor Swift was a surprise absentee from his birthday on Saturday night.
