The Kansas City Chiefs are seeking to become the NFL’s first three-time repeat champions when they take on the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl. The team has become the villains of the NFL with their recent success, and tight end Travis Kelce has spoken about the team’s reaction to the label.
Kelce, who has been a key player in the Chiefs’ playoff success, said that he loves being the villains of the NFL. He recalled a time when the team was considered the “darling of the NFL” and fans felt sorry for them. However, since quarterback Patrick Mahomes became the full-time starter in 2018, the team has made it to the AFC championship in every season.
Kelce believes that the villain label brings the team together and makes them appreciate what they have. He said that when people are saying negative things about them, it makes them circle the wagons and band together.
The Chiefs are one win away from making history and becoming one of the great dynasties in the sport’s history. Kelce has been a big part of the team’s success, holding the record for most receptions in NFL playoff history. He is also second to only Jerry Rice in NFL playoff yards and touchdowns.
The Chiefs will take on the Eagles in the Super Bowl on February 9 at 6:30 p.m. ET on FOX. The game will be streamed live on Tubi for the first time.
