Currently, Travis Kelce and the Chiefs are enjoying a bye in the first round of the NFL wild cards after clinching first place in the AFC. Under the leadership of quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the defending champions are aiming for a deep run in the playoffs. Kansas City will face the Houston Texans, fresh off their impressive 32-12 win over the LA Chargers last week, in the divisional round.
As a three-time Super Bowl champion, Kelce is poised to potentially add another Vince Lombardi Trophy to his already illustrious career. If the Chiefs continue their winning streak and secure Super Bowl LIX, he would join LeBron James with an impressive total of four championships to his name.
