Travis Kelce says he regrets shoving offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy on the sideline during a moment of frustration in Sunday night\'s loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

\"We\'re good,\" the Kansas City Chiefs tight end said. \"Me and Coach Bieniemy have a very close relationship. I love him. He\'s helped me out tremendously as a person, as a professional and I\'m sure he\'ll keep doing that throughout the rest of my career. ... I love the guy. That will never change. I appreciate him being on my tail to get me going.

\"As far as what happened on the sideline, sometimes in football you get a little heated with your brothers or your coaches.\"

Kelce shoved Bieniemy on the sideline after he dropped a difficult but catchable pass early in the game. The two had to separated.

\"He\'s like a father figure, in terms of being there for me on the field,\'\' Kelce said. \"We\'re wired a little bit the same when it comes to our competitive edge. ... It\'s something immediately I regretted and I just wanted to make it good and let him know that, \'You know what? I\'m ready to rock and roll for you.\'\"
