Caitlin Clark gives reality check on Super Bowl LX without Travis Kelce and Chiefs

Caitlin Clark is going to miss Travis Kelce and the Chiefs in Super Bowl LX. The Indiana Fever star made a frank observation about what Kansas City's absence means for the big game.

Clark is the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year who set NCAA scoring records at Iowa. Travis and Jason Kelce brought her back for the final "New Heights" episode of 2025, which dropped on New Year's Eve.

The conversation turned to the Super Bowl during the recording.

"I mean, I'll probably be, like, pulling for the Patriots, but, I mean, I think the Rams are really good too. Sam Darnold seems like a good guy, so I could root for him, too," Clark said (Timecode: 25:12). "But the viewership is not going to be the same without the Chiefs."

Kansas City is 6-10 this season. For the first time since 2014, the team is not making it to the playoffs. They snapped a run of 10 straight postseason berths and three straight trips to the title game.

Caitlin Clark's ties to the franchise go back to her childhood in West Des Moines. She's cheered for Kansas City her entire life despite growing up in Iowa.

The guard has shown up to Arrowhead Stadium twice across the last two seasons. She joined Taylor Swift in the luxury suite for the AFC playoff victory over Houston back in January.

Clark went to another game on Oct. 12 against Detroit with Swift. She's attended several Eras Tour stops during the concert series that ran for almost two years.

Jason Kelce gave Clark a lengthy introduction on the show. He listed off her NCAA scoring title, her status as the top pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft and her selection as Time Magazine's Athlete of the Year for 2024.

"I'm honored you guys brought me back on," Clark said on the podcast. "I must not have been too bad the first time, I guess."

This marks Clark's second time as a New Heights guest. She joined the brothers last January to talk about her rookie campaign in professional basketball.
