Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce spoke glowingly about how he and his teammates feel ahead of facing the Buffalo Bills in the playoffs this weekend.
The Chiefs are set to travel to Highmark Stadium for a rematch of this season’s Week 14 matchup that Buffalo won 20-17 after WR Kadarius Toney lined up offsides on a pivotal play. It will also be Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes first playoff game on the road in his NFL career, which has led to several members of the Bills roster feeling confident about their home field advantage.
‘I think right now it’s just a different energy in our building at least. I’m not sure what they but watching their game a couple nights ago…it looks like they got some pretty damn good energy,’ Kelce said during the bonus episode of his ‘New Heights’ podcast. ‘And the Bills Mafia at home is always going to give you that, that much more momentum. Especially if they’re shoveling snow two days before for an extra $20 bucks an hour.
But I just think it’s the way our defense is playing, our offense is clicking and how we’re playing together man. We’re just having a lot of fun out there, going to work and balling out man and I love that feeling. I love that feeling.
‘I love the challenge of having to go to Buffalo, a hostile environment and trying to find a way to win when it’s single elimination.’ The 34-year-old Kelce ended the season with 93 receptions for 984 yards and five touchdowns. He also recently discussed the ‘honor’ of being named a team captain for the postseason during a photoshoot.
