Travis Kelce reached a top speed of 19.68 mph when he ran past Fred Warner to set up the Chiefs game-tying field goal, that was his fastest speed in seven years. He almost had 100 yards in the second half alone. He's a cheat code. Enjoy him & never take him for granted

Crazy that the Chiefs went thru the 1 seed in the NFC and the top 2 seeds in the Afc on the road. Also have dominated the AFC with all the talented qbs in the conference

[@Alaskancruiser]

Funny how Brady ,GOAT’s domination opened doors for others to win with his retirement. Brady competed against Peyton,Brees,Rogers,BigBen etc, all future HOF players. Mahomes doesn’t have to compete with a single proven qb. If he doesn’t win 4 more SB in a row it’s a waste of this time of lack of talented players he has to compete with. Allen, Lamar, Tua, Hurts, etc are all mediocre and their coaches can’t game plan. Burrow is best competitor but he won’t stay healthy with that horrible O line so…

travis was frustrated because he blamed himself for missing a block that led to Hardman's previous game goalline fumble , and that he wasn't there to block for pacheco and protect him from his redzone fumble. it wasn't about targets.

Thx for paying attention, Noah Grey missed the block that created the fumble and Pop would have scored if not for the CB

A 15-3 playoff record is wild to begin with, but it get's even crazier to think that two of those losses were AFC championship games and one was a Superbowl. Then consider the fact has has as many Superbowl wins as playoff losses now. 15-3 in the playoffs would be a Hall of Fame career over any length of career even without a Superbowl win.

[@jhandle4196]

The Chiefs defeated the winners of two of the three other AFC divisions on the road, and the best team in Florida at home to get to the big show where they won facing the top NFC seed. Just on strength of post-season schedule, they should get a bye in next season's tournament, but they probably won't need it. Chris Jones has already promised he'll be back next year.

[@dawood121derful]

Definitely an impressive playoff run.

What cool aid is everyone drinking the path to the Super Bowl wasn’t that difficult for Chiefs if you truthfully look at it .They played Miami a warm weather team at home in 0 weather,they played the Bills with a absolutely decimated defense I think they had something like 6 or 7 starters out Allen had them in the game to the end they barely won by 3 ,they played the Ravens with one of the most overrated QBs in Lamar he’s got the same playoff record as Baker ,Lamar played like absolute dog crap and gave the game to them he sure isn’t the best player in league what a joke .Then they play Purdy a late round second year player coming off of surgery on his throwing arm and they had to go into overtime to beat him they look more lucky than good .

[@FirstLast-xf6hz]

🤡

[@jhandle4196]

I'm trying to figure which team's fan base might generate such bitterness, and envy. With the praise of Baker, and calling him just by his 1st name, first guess is "Buck-an-ear" fan. C-Town treated Baker badly. He'll always be remembered for his commercial with Alice Cooper in studded jack-boots. Lamar's this season's MVP. He was taken out of his game by a superior Chiefs' defense that get's better every game they play. Chris Jones said he's coming back next season, and the one after that, and Sneed and McDuffie have become arguably the best CB tandem in the NFL. Purdy was actually the last player taken in the last (7th) round of the draft. All that shows is that even the so-called experts still don't have it all figured out. TB caught #15 on a bad wheel in SB LV, and that's why they were really the only team able to blitz Patrick and disrupt him. Perhaps the Chiefs, like any successful team, has it's share of luck, but as any good coach tells his team, "You make your own luck." It's not appealing to be a sore loser.
