LAS VEGAS -- Travis Kelce went off script.
All season, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end brilliantly balanced touchdowns and tabloids, love and locker rooms, happily juggling his star turn off the field with his growing legacy on it.
A third championship was Kelce's for the taking, but the enduring image from Sunday's 25-22 overtime win over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII was nearly this: a raging Kelce, limited to a single catch for a solitary yard in a stagnant first half, almost knocking 65-year-old coach Andy Reid from his feet on the sideline after the Chiefs took Kelce off the field for a running play that resulted in an Isiah Pacheco fumble.
