Fans are gushing about the heartfelt exchange between Travis Kelce and Bo Nix following the Chiefs’ Christmas Day loss against the Broncos. The future Hall of Famer’s motivational message for the rookie quarterback became one of the standout postgame moments of the night.
Travis Kelce caught talking to Bo Nix after Chiefs loss
The Kansas City Chiefs faced a crushing defeat on their Christmas Day match against the Denver Broncos. Despite the loss, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was a class act during his postgame interaction with Broncos quarterback Bo Nix.
Shortly after the clock hit zero, Kelce was spotted sharing a heartfelt interaction with the rookie quarterback. The mics picked up the Chiefs’ tight end telling Nix, “You’re a hell of a competitor, man. You already know.” He added, “Love playing against you every single time, dog. Do your thing, baby, alright? Go get you one, man.”
Meanwhile, speculation surrounding Kelce’s potential retirement next year continues to gain traction among fans. Many have sparked concern over whether the Chiefs’ Week 17 matchup against Denver may have marked Kelce’s final appearance at Arrowhead Stadium
Furthermore, the Chiefs’ recent elimination from the postseason playoffs also fuelled Kelce’s retirement rumors. A devastating loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on December 14 ended the team’s decade-long streak of postseason runs. The game also resulted in Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes tearing his left ACL.
With Kelce’s contract set to expire next year as well, fans are now waiting on his official decision regarding his future in the league. Amid the growing uncertainty, the tight end has recently addressed the retirement rumors in a pregame interview on Christmas.
“Honestly, I’ve just been trying to win football games, man. I’ll let that be a decision I make with my family, friends, the Chiefs organization when the time comes,” stated Kelce. (via Sports Illustrated)
Off the field, fans are also looking forward to Kelce’s upcoming wedding with his fiancée, Taylor Swift. Amid a lukewarm NFL season, the tight end got engaged to the Grammy-winning songstress in August this year. The pair announced the news via a joint Instagram post.
