Amid the blowout, Kelce and Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson got into it with each other. After a Patrick Mahomes pass intended for the tight end fell incomplete, Gardner-Johnson still popped Kelce in the back. The former Cincinnati Bearcats star took exception to this, getting up quickly, walking toward the safety and bumping into him.
An emotional C.J. Gardner-Johnson delivered an expletive-filled message to his Eagles teammates on the eve of Super Bowl 2025, before Philadelphia took down the reigning champion Chiefs and the outspoken safety ignited postgame drama with Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce.
