Travis Kelce has been officially knocked out of playoff contention this year, after the Kansas City Chiefs’ loss against the LA Chargers. The heartbreaking defeat eliminated the team from the postseason battle for the upcoming Super Bowl, marking the end of their 10-year playoff streak.
Chiefs eliminated from playoffs
The Kansas City Chiefs will no longer compete in the upcoming NFL playoffs, following the recent loss against the Los Angeles Chargers. After a lukewarm season, the Sunday, December 14, game was the Chiefs’ last chance to secure a spot in the playoffs. However, a close 13-16 loss led to a heartbreaking elimination.
The Chiefs put up a strong front during the game, coming close to securing the lead during the fourth quarter. A touchdown seemed on the horizon, but quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw an interception at the Chargers’ 17-yard line, missing the opportunity.
The last two minutes of the game presented another opportunity for the Chiefs to snatch the lead, but Mahomes suffered a knee injury while attempting a throw at the Chargers’ 46-yard line. Backup QB Gardner Minshew stepped in during the final moments in hopes of grabbing the winning points, but an interception throw sealed the Chiefs’ fate before the clock hit zero.
The devastating loss comes amid growing speculation about Travis Kelce’s potential retirement next year. Although the Chiefs’ tight end has yet to officially confirm his retirement plans, the Sunday game could be his last major game if he decides to hang up his cleats soon.
Meanwhile, Taylor Swift was in attendance at the Sunday game to cheer on her fiancé, Travis Kelce. The songstress enjoyed the game from Kelce’s suite along with her mother, Andrea, as well as Travis’ mother, Donna Kelce. Swift was also spotted hanging out with Travis’ sister-in-law, Kylie Kelce, in the suite.
