WATCH: Chiefs TE Travis Kelce says ‘dynasty is just starting’

Travis Kelce, the team’s star tight end, says they won’t have to wait nearly as long for another Lombardi Trophy.

The Kansas City Chiefs had to wait 50 years to get back to the NFL’s biggest stage after winning Super Bowl IV in 1970.

But Travis Kelce, the team’s star tight end, says they won’t have to wait nearly as long for another Lombardi Trophy.

“The dynasty is just starting, baby,’’ he told reporters after the Chiefs’ 31-20 win over the 49ers in Miami. “It’s just starting. Motivated to do it again, for sure.’’

That may feel like a bold promise to make after just one Super Bowl title in recent history, but several of Kelce’s teammates spoke of a budding dynasty after the win, including defensive tackle Chris Jones and wide receiver Tyreek Hill.

Patrick Mahomes tried to slow down the dynasty talk in his post-game press conference:

“For me, it’s about taking it one year at a time. We came up short last year. We understood how hard of a challenge it was to get in this position again, and we found a way to do it. … We have to take it one year at a time, one day at a time, and try to put together great years. And then, at the end of it all, we’ll have no regrets of where we’re at.”
