Kansas City was eliminated from playoff contention after losing to the LA Chargers on Sunday. Mahomes went down in the closing seconds, and his injury might keep him out well into next year.

Travis Klece didn't say anything about his plans beyond 2025. He went on about how wearing an NFL uniform is an honor no matter the situation.

"There's an integrity thing here that when you sign up for the gig," Kelce said. "You're living out a kid's dream that never got a chance to do this. You're playing this game obviously to win Super Bowls, you're playing this game to be in those playoff scenarios, but at the end of the day, you're playing in the NFL. And that's a f*cking blessing."

Kansas City has three games remaining with Gardner Minshew set to take snaps under center. Kelce only missed the playoffs once before this season. The Chiefs made seven straight AFC title game appearances and won three Super Bowls in his previous 13 years in the league.
