“It All Paid Off Baby” – Travis Kelce on Chiefs Regular Season Struggles as a Strong Playoff Run Leads to Yet Another Lombardi

The Chiefs’ regular season wasn’t exactly their best. They fumbled, and they stumbled. However, Travis Kelce and Co still made it to the Super Bowl. He’s… let’s just say, he’s feeling the aftermath, big time. After all, when you make it to the Super Bowl despite a less-than-average regular season, you are bound to feel grateful and emotional.

As the Chiefs returned home with their fourth Super Bowl, what were the thoughts playing on the minds of the two MVPs of the Chiefs squad?

Travis Kelce reveals the emotions behind the game

On his New Heights podcast with his brother Jason Kelce, Travis Kelce opened up about how he’s been holding up post-game. He didn’t sugarcoat it either. “I feel like I just got in a trainwreck, man,” Travis admitted when Jason asked him about his condition. “That was a physical game, man,” said Travis. Tavis-mania is running wild at the Super Bowl!

But the physical toll didn’t stop Travis Kelce from celebrating after the game. There were even videos circulating of him having a blast with his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, and the rest of the team in Las Vegas.

He reflected on how hard it was after a terrible regular season. “We really rallied together for five quarters, man,” he added. “For the second half of the season, we really just decided to lock in and put in that extra work man and it paid off, baby. Nothing better.” Like Travis Kelce, Mahomes also was emotional after the win in his usual nonchalant self.

Patrick Mahomes gets sentimental about the win

Reflecting on his winning touchdown pass to Mecole Hardman during the game, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, 28, shared the whirlwind of emotions that followed in an interview with Good Morning America earlier this week. “It was just all emotion, man,” Mahomes recounted. “I was running, and I didn’t know where to go and I had to lay down somewhere, so I did a tumble on the ground. It’s a moment that I’ll never forget.”

Despite the triumph, Mahomes remains focused on the future and is determined to keep pushing forward with his team. “I mean, obviously we’ve had a great start and a great run, and we’ve done a lot of great things, but we’ve got a long way to go,” Mahomes remarked. “And so I think if I have the mindset to continue to get better every single day, I’m playing.”

Mahomes is not one to get complacent. For Travis Kelce and the team, let’s get the party started!
