Travis Kelce tips his hat to his girlfriend Taylor Swift after an outstanding display led his Kansas City Chiefs team to a 23-14 victory over the Houston Texans on Saturday.
Kelce scored a touchdown and recorded seven receptions for 117 yards in an outstanding display from the tight end that marked his return to top form at the crucial stage of the season.
After the game, Kelce, 35, talked about how crucial the bye week was for the Chiefs, as it allowed them to rest last weekend when most other teams were playing.
When asked if he felt 25 again, Kelce referenced a hit single by his girlfriend when he responded, “22 baby, 22.”
He added: “Any time you can recover and work on your body at the end of the season, I'll take advantage of it.”
'You saw me do it last year, I always appreciate the hard work we did. 100 percent (I felt better). “There's nothing better than playoff football, especially here in Arrowhead.”
Travis Kelce said he felt 22 years old after another starring role for the Chiefs vs. Texans
Caitlin Clark joined Swift in the stands, and the duo sat in Kelce's VIP suite to watch the game against the Texans.
The Chiefs return next Sunday night, where they will play the winner of the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens for a spot in the Super Bowl.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes also paid tribute to Kelce on the field in Arrowhead moments after the victory over the Texans was official.
“You know eight-seven was going to show up every time there was a big moment, and he did,” Mahomes told ESPN's Lisa Salters after the game.
“I mean, everyone was asking, 'Where's Travis Kelce?' And I think he showed the world where he stands.”
