Travis Kelce on Chiefs dynasty: ‘We’ve got the formula’
Forget all this extra talk of dynasties. Travis Kelce bragged this week that he and his Chiefs teammates have something more important. They know the formula for winning Super Bowls.
Kelce and his brother, Jason Kelce, did their New Heights podcast post-Super Bowl, releasing it Wednesday. And among the many topics they covered was one about the Chiefs’ formula. It didn’t sound scientific or like something concrete other teams could copy. Rather, it mostly sounded like each teammate has love and respect for each other.
“We got something special, man, and we got the formula, baby,” Travis Kelce said. “We know exactly what we need to do and how to do it. And I know next year’s team won’t be the same, as every year is different. You know whether the main guys or there or what I call glue guys, the guys that don’t get as much publicity or get … as many people talking about them, when you know new guys come in. And sure enough, man, we got the formula.
“Coach (Andy) Reid has the leadership role of making sure this thing just runs so f*****g smooth. And everybody gets in line … This year, it took all the way until the end of the season … Those last four weeks of the season to really find it and mold this thing together. But we became a team with grit and grind and just love for the ones next to us and passionate for the ones next to us. And sure enough, man it was a beautiful year, man, a fun journey.”
Chiefs erased 10-point deficit to beat 49ers in Super Bowl
The Chiefs beat the 49ers, 25-22, in overtime after Patrick Mahomes threw a touchdown pass to Mecole Hardman. At one point, San Fran owned a 10-0 lead over Kansas City. But the Super Bowl was like a microcosm of the Chiefs season. They came back and won anyway. The Chiefs needed to tie the game on a Harrison Butker field goal with six seconds to go in regulation to give themselves a chance in OT.
The Chiefs celebrated their third Super Bowl in four years with a parade, Wednesday in Kansas City. Everyone was in a festive mood, as players walked the parade route and slapped high fives with fans. Police estimated the crowd at about 1 million. Kelce ended the party with a rowdy version of the Garth Brook classic Friends in Low Places.
Sadly, shortly after the end of the parade, gunfire broke out. One person died and 22 were injured. Kansas City police said that the shootings happened after a dispute broke out. You can read more On3 coverage here.
