The Kansas City Chiefs enter the Divisional matchup with the Houston Texans with home-field advantage and experience in their favor. Pro Bowl tight end Travis Kelce appeared on Monday’s episode of ‘The Pat McAfee Show‘ to discuss this year’s team and being aware of the doubters heading into postseason play.
“We’re finding different and more ways to win early on and throughout the season. I think last year, we dealt with finding ways to lose,” said Kelce. “You can learn from both, but learning from the games you win is a whole lot more fun. I think we have a lot of confidence in this team, and a lot of guys are willing to go that extra mile, man.”
Kansas City finished the season with the best win total in franchise history, 15, and captured another AFC West title on their way to the top seed in the conference. Kelce pointed out a former NFL head coach and current ESPN analyst as a noted critic of the team.
“We’ve definitely heard all the chatter, and guys like Rex Ryan, saying this team can’t win in the playoffs, and he’s seen it before, and we hear everything, but at the same time, we know what’s real, and what’s in this building,” said Kelce. “That’s guys who want to be accountable for the one next to him and are going to keep finding ways to be accountable week in and week out.”
Ryan is being considered for the New York Jets head coach position this offseason and could have more to say about the two-time defending Super Bowl champions before Saturday.
