Chiefs TE Travis Kelce appreciates the villain role going into Super Bowl LIX

During the latest episode of the “New Heights” podcast, Travis Kelce addressed the many Kansas City Chiefs haters. He didn’t hold back regarding the consistent criticism the team has faced from accusations that they are receiving favorable treatment from game officials.

“I love it. I love it; at one point in time, it wasn’t that,” said Kelce. “I was the ‘do you feel bad for ’em guys.’ I’m enjoying doing this with the guys together. The guys that we have in there because it just makes us even more of a family.”

The Chiefs are the fourth reigning back-to-back Super Bowl champions to reach the Conference Championship game but the first to return to the Super Bowl.

“You just circle the wagons, said Kelce. “People are saying whatever they want. You just band together, and it makes you appreciate more of what you have because people want what you have.

Kelce and the Chiefs prepare to face the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans, hoping to become the first team to win three consecutive Super Bowls.
