Travis Kelce hilariously destroyed ‘Burrowhead’ nickname after Chiefs beat Bengals in AFC championship

Tell ’em what you really think, Travis Kelce!

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce didn’t let some Cincinnati Bengals overconfidence go unnoticed after his team punched a ticket to the Super Bowl.

After the Chiefs took down the Bengals at home to claim an AFC title on Sunday, Kelce took to the mic during teammate Patrick Mahomes’ postgame interview and sent a very curt message to the Bengals faithful.

“Burrowhead, my ass,” Kelce exclaimed. “It’s Mahomes’ house!”

Mahomes got a good laugh out of his teammate’s trolling.

For background, the Bengals had started to call Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium “Burrowhead Stadium” after the Cincy quarterback had compiled a 3-0 record against the Chiefs in his young career.

The Chiefs have taken great offense to that nickname, including Kelce.

Well, it looks like “Burrowhead” won’t stick much longer. Kelce’s excitement dispels a lot of the hype surrounding the Bengals being the team to beat in the AFC.

Judging by Sunday’s final result, the conference still belongs to Mahomes and the Chiefs. It’ll probably stop any other team from nicknaming Kansas City’s stadium after their quarterback anytime soon.

Chris Jones hungry ahead of matchup vs. Bengals: ‘See you at Burrowhead Stadium’

It seems that the Kansas City Chiefs have heard the comment coming from Cincinnati Bengals CB Mike Hilton on the sideline during the AFC divisional round.

Defensive lineman Chris Jones made a not-so-subtle reference to the trash talk as he ended his comments to the media on Friday. A reporter asked how he intended to spend his Saturday knowing that the Chiefs would play in the AFC Championship Game against the Bengals on Sunday, and Jones gave a straightforward answer before ending with what is sure to become one of his most iconic quotes.

“Rest, watch a little more film, see what else I can pick up,” Jones said of his plans for Saturday. “Eliminate all distractions.”

With a slight lean toward the steps down from the podium, he ended with a few words that gave more insight than anything else he could have possibly said.

“Take care, see y’all at Burrowhead Stadium.”

Clearly, Jones has taken the Bengals’ banter personally in his preparation for this matchup. He was already motivated by his failure to sack Joe Burrow in the playoffs last season, but he will be particularly motivated to wreak havoc in Cincinnati’s backfield on Sunday. If he manages to get to Burrow in the pocket, he could record his first career playoff sack in the Chiefs’ most important game of the season to this point, and earn Kansas City the right to compete for their second Super Bowl title in four years.
