Travis Kelce’s Super Bowl speech took a shot at Dee Ford’s crucial 2019 offsides penalty

The Kansas City Chiefs pulled off an epic fourth quarter comeback to win Super Bowl 54 against the 49ers on Sunday. It was Kansas City’s first Super Bowl appearance in 50 years, but let’s not forget that the Chiefs were one offsides penalty away from this being their second straight trip to the Super Bowl.

Travis Kelce certainly didn’t forget.

During last year’s AFC Championship Game against the Patriots, the would-be, game-sealing interception by Kansas City was negated when Dee Ford was called for an offsides penalty. Replays would show that he was indeed lined up in the neutral zone.

On Wednesday, Kelce took a shot at Ford — now with the 49ers — while introducing Frank Clark at the Super Bowl parade (1:07 mark of video).

And here’s the NSFW clip:

Kelce said:

“How about my dog, 5-5. And he ain’t offsides.”

Everyone went nuts after that line. The Chiefs didn’t see it coming at all, but they certainly loved it.

After all, they were so close to making last year’s Super Bowl.
