The Chiefs are set to take on the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round of the playoffs. They are intent on winning the Super Bowl back-to-back. But rumors are swirling around that their superstar TE Travis Kelce is looking to end it all after this season.
Kelce is one of the best, if not the best, tight end of this generation. His game has evolved over 11 seasons. But with his elder brother Jason Kelce seemingly retiring a week ago, NFL insider Michele Tafoya believes the younger brother is also ready to hang up his boots.

As the host pressed to know more about Kelce’s retirement, Tafoya chuckled a bit. She said, “Well, I can’t really reveal my source”. However, she did lay out some details for the listeners.
“I think he’s looking at his future plans”, said Tafoya, revealing that the siblings might soon be covering the sport in broadcast duties. She mentioned that this is the reason the Chiefs are motivated to win. However, the recent past of this fixture does not favor the team from Kansas City.

Not only will the Chiefs be facing the brutal weather of New York and the rowdy Bills fans, but they’ll also be fighting their history against the Bills. The Chiefs have taken on the Bills 55 times, winning only 24 while losing 29.
And the last two encounters have resulted in losses for the Chiefs. Including the game in the regular season. So the Chiefs will have to pull up their socks, to make sure that Travis doesn’t get a similar send-off like his brother.
