Chiefs TE Travis Kelce praises the Chargers Week 14 performance: ‘A lot of heart’

Kansas City #Chiefs TE Travis Kelce praises the Los Angeles #Chargers Week 14 performance: ‘A lot of heart’ | @EdEastonJr

The Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 14 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers will be best remembered for the thrilling game-winning field goal. All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce appreciated his opponent’s play more and saw potential future success for their starting quarterback.

On the latest episode of the New Heights podcast, Travis and Jason praised what they recognized from the Chargers on Sunday night.

“I think the Chargers a (f******) hell of a (good) football team,” Kelce said. (Jim) Harbaugh’s got those guys playing their tail off, with a lot of heart.”

Los Angeles is in its first season with new head coach Jim Harbaugh, who has earned a reputation for turning teams around at different levels to become winners. The good vibes extended to their quarterback, who has been one of the more efficient players in the league this season.

“You can’t tell me Justin Herbert isn’t one of the (f******) quarterbacks in the National Football League,” said Kelce, speaking highly of Herbert’s gutsy performance last Sunday night. The Chargers quarterback finished the game 21 of 30, passing for 213 yards and a touchdown.

Kansas City swept the season series this year over Los Angeles, but each game was close and could have gone either way.

“They got that thing figured out right now,” said Kelce. “They’re playing really, really good football right now, and they played us pretty tough both times we got them.”

The spotlight consistently falls on Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce when he’s on the field because of his All-Pro ability. On the off chance he has a disappointing game, no one takes it harder than him, as he discusses on the latest episode of the New Heights podcast.

“You don’t think about, ‘Oh, I really want to win this game so I can remain undefeated; no, we want to win this game because we have a lot of really close football games against the Buffalo Bills, and we love f**king competing against them because they’re one of the best teams in the league,” said Kelce. “I get fired up playing against the best teams in the NFL, and I was fired up for this one, but I didn’t play my best.”

Kelce had only two catches for 8 yards in the 30-21 loss last Sunday, stalling a hot streak of productive games he had leading into the game.

“That s**t, it f**king pisses me off,” said Kelce. “It made me go right back into work on Monday after the game and get after it, find a way to make s**t right.”

Kelce and the Chiefs have a chance at redemption on Sunday as they remain on the road against the Carolina Panthers.

Travis Kelce is SO GROSSED OUT.

We have found Travis Kelce’s weakness.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end had a complete meltdown over watching a mayonnaise eating contest on the latest New Heights podcast. And while we’re happy to update this with the video of that moment later, the audio is just amazing.

It’s podcast gold. Here you go, starting around the 14-minute mark or so (with the usual WARNING: NSFW language ahead!):

Travis Kelce gives love to Jason Kelce on New Heights after Penn State phone throwing incident

Jason Kelce regretted his actions, but Travis Kelce gave him some love in response.

Jason Kelce once again expressed regret for his actions and words after he was filmed responding to an anti-LGBTQ word said to him about his brother by throwing the person’s phone to the ground at Penn State.

He started off the latest New Heights podcast by talking about it and saying he regretted reacting.

“Now, it’s out there and it just perpetuates more hate,” he said.

But his brother, Travis, gave him love in response.

“The real situation is you had some [expletive] clown come up to you and talk about your family, and you reacted in a way that was defending your family, and you might’ve used some words that you regret using,” he said. “And that’s a situation you’ve just got to learn from and own. I think you owning it and you speaking about it shows how sincere you are to a lot of people in this world. … You don’t choose hate, that’s just not who you are. I love you brother, I think you said that perfectly.”

Kansas City #Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce discusses DeAndre Hopkins’ veteran presence: ‘He’s just professional’ | @EdEastonJr

The moves being made by the Kansas City Chiefs front office are preparing the team for a hopeful three-peat run. Pro Bowl tight end Travis Kelce serves as a leader on the team, and he doesn’t hold back on uplifting new teammates when they join the organization.

On the latest episode of the New Heights podcast, Kelce praised DeAndre Hopkins’ immediate veteran presence on the team.

“It’s awesome, man. Having D-Hop (DeAndre Hopkins) in the building, have another vet, a guy, he’s such a,  I call him ‘Swag Champ’ when you get a vet into the building, and he juices everybody’s confidence up,” said Kelce. “He juices everybody, like the aura and the fun that you have in the building and just going to work. He’s just another guy that you can always rely on to show up and put in the work, but enjoy what he’s doing and try and have some fun with it. Man, he’s been awesome stepping up and stepping into the building.”

Hopkins will have a more prominent role in the offense after his brief cameo in the Week 8 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.

“He had two days, Thursday and Friday during practice, to get timing with Pat (Patrick Mahomes) and in the offense to try and kind of get into the routine, everything with coach (Andy) Reid’s way of doing things,” said Kelce. “he’s just professional, just a professional guy. He came in asking questions, trying to get caught up as fast as possible. And sure enough, we got him in the building, and I think the first third down we had, we went right to him, baby. Yeah, right to him. And he’s right on time, man.”

The Chiefs return to action on Monday Night Football with Hopkins and recently acquired linebacker Joshua Uche taking center stage in front of a national audience.

They’re happy!

We’ve seen them in public, we’ve heard what they have to say about each other, but it’s always nice to hear it said out loud from Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift: they’re happy!

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce explains the lateral in Week 5 vs. Saints: ‘It’s like fast-break basketball’

Kansas City #Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce explains the lateral in Week 5 vs. New Orleans #Saints: ‘It’s like fast-break basketball’ | @EdEastonJr

The unexpected highlight play by Travis Kelce in the Kansas City Chiefs Week 5 victory over the New Orleans Saints was impressive and careless, depending on various opinions.

During the latest episode of the New Heights podcast, Travis explained his viral and controversial lateral during last Monday’s game and compared it to basketball.

“I had no idea that he had a chip or anything on the backside. I was reversing (the) field. I felt guys over…and I was like, more yards going this way, but then I realized I couldn’t get more.” said Kelce. “There’s a guy in red over here. I just feel him…, it’s like fast-break basketball. You just running the lane.”

Veteran running back Samaje Perine, who received the lateral, brought the Chiefs within a yard of the first down. He also earned plenty of respect in the locker room and with Kelce for his heads-up play.

“You can’t just throw it on me. It’s Samaje, unbelievable job by Perine to actually be ready because he was kind of, like, shuffling,” said Kelce as the veteran running back just went with the flow of the unexpected lateral to get positive yardage. “That’s a ball player right there.”

The Chiefs are off this week on a bye, giving fans more time to rewatch the play and enjoy an undefeated start to the season.

True Eagles fan Kylie Kelce still refuses to wear Chiefs gear, and it’s fantastic

Kylie has stayed true to her Philadelphia roots and her word.

The Kansas City Chiefs hosted the New Orleans Saints for Monday Night Football, and it was a Kelce family affair. Travis Kelce, a tight end for the Chiefs, was on the field, with recently-retired big brother Jason taking on his new desk duty as part of the MNF ESPN crew.

Also in attendance was Jason’s wife, Kylie. A true Philadelphia Eagles fan, Kylie has always refused to wear the gear of any other NFL team, even if it’s for her brother-in-law. On Monday night, Kylie donned a tee-shirt emblazoned with “Alright Nah,” one of the catchphrases from the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast.

We love a loyal queen.
