Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs have touched down in Buffalo for their upcoming playoff game this Sunday. In a picturesque wintry setting, the 34-year-old tight end made a striking appearance, sporting a mustard yellow suit, a striped shirt, a beanie hat, and shades. His demeanor seemed somber as he disembarked from the plane, adjusting his collar and wearing AirPods.
Kelce’s mood may have been influenced by recent events; just before boarding their flight in Kansas City, he received news of an arrest involving an alleged stalker attempting to break into his girlfriend, Taylor Swift’s, Manhattan apartment. The individual, referred to as ‘David’ by the NYPD, was taken into custody in Tribeca after a failed intrusion attempt.
Eager to shift focus to Sunday’s game, Kelce followed quarterback Patrick Mahomes, impeccably dressed in a chocolate pinstripe suit, complete with a pocket square and a grey tie. Six coaches awaited them, ready to transport the team to their Buffalo hotel.
Landing in Buffalo at 4 pm, Kelce immediately felt the cold. Upon arrival at the hotel, a small group of Chiefs fans greeted them with cheers, while a contingent of Bills fans expressed their disapproval with shouts of “Go home!”
The Chiefs, led by Kelce, must secure a victory tomorrow against the Bills to extend their NFL season. Tomorrow’s AFC divisional playoff game at Buffalo’s Highmark Stadium may see Taylor Swift in attendance, marking her first meeting with Travis Kelce’s brother, Jason.
Despite recent retirement speculation surrounding Jason after the Philadelphia Eagles’ loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he has not made an official announcement yet. Meanwhile, Jason and his wife continue to show their support for Travis and the Chiefs.
Teammate Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs quarterback, looked suave as he left the plane. In a podcast co-hosted by Travis and Jason, the Chiefs star expressed excitement about playing against the passionate Buffalo fanbase, known as the Bills Mafia.
This week, Kelce downplayed the impact of the home-field advantage at Highmark Stadium, saying, “It’s Bills Mafia, man. That’s their home-field advantage. I’m sure the guys love playing for that fan base. I grew up in Cleveland, man. They were throwing beer bottles at people!”
Despite a previous loss to the Bills in Week 14, Travis emphasized the different energy in their team and their confidence heading into the game. He relished the challenge of playing in a hostile environment, highlighting the camaraderie and enjoyment the team finds in their current form as they aim to secure a win in this single-elimination match.
