Kansas City Chiefs’ Quest for Third Straight Vince Lombardi Trophy Begins
The Kansas City Chiefs will welcome the Houston Texans to Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday to kick off their playoff run, with the goal of securing an unprecedented third consecutive Vince Lombardi Trophy. The Texans came out on top against the Los Angeles Chargers in the wild-card round, earning a spot in the divisional round.
Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce, 35, remains energetic and motivated, stating he feels like he’s 22 years old, referencing the title of a Taylor Swift song. Kelce and Swift have been romantically linked for over a year, with Swift frequently attending Chiefs games.
Kelce has been named to his 10th consecutive Pro Bowl, but may opt to skip the event in favor of competing in the Super Bowl in New Orleans. Despite falling short of the 1,000 receiving yards mark this season, Kelce has rounded into form during the playoff run, including an 84-yard performance with a touchdown reception in the Chiefs’ Christmas Day win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Kelce has played a crucial role in three Super Bowl-winning teams, including the Chiefs’ victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII and last year’s championship run. However, no NFL team has ever won three consecutive Super Bowl titles, making this upcoming season’s goal a historic one for the Chiefs.
