“They’re passionate players,” Reid said, via Pro Football Talk. “I love that, even if they chest bump me to the other side of the 50 [yard line]. I appreciate it. I just love that the guy wants to play and wants to be in there playing.”

Travis expressed his love for Reid, adding that the two discussed the moment. “It came in a moment where we weren’t playing very well,” Travis said. “I wasn’t playing very well. And we had to get some s— get going. And sometimes those emotions get away from me. And that’s been the battle of my career.

“Everybody else, I don’t give a s— what anybody else says. I talked to Coach Reid about it today and we kind of chuckled about it. I couldn’t be more proud of being his product on the field and I couldn’t be more proud of where we’ve come as a team since I got here in 2013. I just love playing for the guy. Unfortunately, sometimes my passion comes out where it looks like it’s negativity, but I’m grateful that he knows it’s all because I want to win this thing with him more than anything.”

Travis apologized to Reid on the podcast, saying he was “sorry if I caught you with that cheap shot, baby.” He added that his actions were “definitely unacceptable.”

While the moment between Travis and Reid made headline news, seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady didn’t seem overly concerned.
