Action Jackson and Magic Mahomes will be going head-to-head in another nail-biting AFC Conference title game. In the past couple of games, we have been seeing Travis Kelce make a slow comeback. The game against the Buffalo Bills was his best one in a while. He scored two touchdowns in a single game and made history with Patrick Mahomes. Can he do the same again?
Ahead of the much-anticipated game, the Kansas City Chiefs QB appeared in a pre-game presser. He talked about Kelce’s resurgence and how the TE has reached “another level” in just a short amount of time. After he had a two-week rest, Patrick Mahomes thinks that Kelce is someone that the Baltimore Ravens might have to look out for.

The reporter brought up how Kelce didn’t play in last week’s 18 game against the Chargers. He asked Mahomes whether his newfound vigor was the result of him sitting out for two weeks. Mahomes had nothing but praise for the TE and gave his reason as to why he would shine in the upcoming game. Firstly, per Mahomes, Kelce likes the challenges and how the TE likes playing “big games” and competing with the best of the best.
“He likes playing the big games and going against the best, he is able to make his game even rise another level,” said Mahomes to the reporter and called Travis Kelce a “special player”. Travis Kelce is back in his true form along with Rashee Rice is a huge boost for the Chiefs QB. ”I’m just glad he’s on my team makes my job a lot easier been throwing the ball big moments.” said Mahomes, adding to the conversation.
At the same time, we cannot expect Lamar Jackson to do a half-hearted job, especially with the possibility of their TE Mark Andrews returning in the AFC title game. But Jackson is not the one who made a playoff record; it was the Chiefs QB and the TE.
