Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce’s future remains up in the air after the team was
eliminated from playoff contention for the first time since 2014. The picture looks grim for the
AFC West franchise after suffering a fourth consecutive loss on Sunday (26-9 to the Tennessee
Titans), and Kelce’s recent decisions confirm that he is frustrated about the situation.
Following the Week 16 duel, the future Hall of Famer continued with a trend that has raised
eyebrows around the league. Kelce has opted to skip out on postgame interviews several times
this season. Sunday wasn’t the exception, following a discreet performance from the 36-year-
old tight end.
Fans let the player know how they felt about the situation on social media, with many criticizing
the way he’s handled postgame conferences.
“I don’t love the way he’s handled post-game media this year, leaving Pat and Chris to take the
heat. That said, there’s literally nothing to say at this point. Save it for draft week…it’s a credit
to Travis that he didn’t go to IR with a hangnail,” one fan said.

“Oh its ok, but Travis Kelce can skip the media conference… oh, it depends on the players
huh?” another fan told analyst Jason Whitlock.

Other fans questioned whether reporters would focus on the real issues instead of dragging
Kelce, who recorded just one reception for six yards.
“Will you actually ask the coaches why they aren’t playing young guys?!” one fan said.

“Still not making any of the necessary questions to the coaching staff? just looking for sound
bites from kelce lol media around the chiefs is a complete joke,” another fan wrote.

The Chiefs saw quarterback Gardner Minshew leave the game after suffering a non-contact
injury on the third play of the game. Chris Oladokun replaced the man who had already replaced
Patrick Mahomes, which sealed the team’s fate.
The Titans dominated the Chiefs in total plays (70 to 43), first downs (22 to nine) and total yards
(376 to 133). Kelce made it clear he won’t give up on his team...
