Travis Kelce Warms Up Before Chiefs Game

Travis Kelce was in high spirits as he participated in practice ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs' final preseason game against the Chicago Bears. The 34-year-old tight end, dressed in a full Chiefs uniform, joined fellow starters, including quarterback Patrick Mahomes, in running drills at Arrowhead Stadium. However, both Kelce and Mahomes were confirmed to sit out the game by head coach Andy Reid, who indicated that the focus would be on giving second-string players valuable game time. Reid's decision to rest the starters came as the Chiefs aimed to secure at least one preseason victory. Unfortunately, the team fell short, losing 34-21 to the Bears. This defeat followed earlier losses to the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Detroit Lions, raising questions about the team's performance as the regular season approaches. Despite these setbacks, fans remain largely unconcerned, perhaps due to the timing of the games and the team's established reputation. In a notable moment earlier this summer, Kelce showcased his football expertise in a viral video while teaching at his Tight End University offseason program. He also demonstrated his skills during the Lions game, catching a behind-the-back pass from Mahomes, despite running the wrong route. Off the field, Kelce made headlines for gifting his popstar girlfriend, Taylor Swift, a lavish $31,000 present, further capturing public attention as the season nears.
