The game that changes the game of the rookie receiver of the bosses Nikko Remigio, which changes the game against the Bills, was inspired by a message from Travis Kelce, revealed the 25 -year -old.
In a recent appearance in the UP and Adams program with Kay Adams, Remigio shared how Kelce put it aside during his AFC championship game against Buffalo with short but shocking tips.
The veteran approached the rookie after he 'just caught' a return of clearing at the beginning of the game.
“Trav had approached me before in the game and he said:” That is not being great, brother, “Remigio said.” So I knew that entering this next opportunity that had to do something to happen. “
“I went and had a beak in the field and I saw that it was going to be tight and that it was going to be a quick play and, you know, I made it come true.”
Remigio returned the clearance for 41 yards to help Kansas City maintain their early advantage. They would cling to the lead and ensure a 32-29 victory to hit a ticket to the Super Bowl.

The product of the state of Fresno also admitted why he doubted the first time and was excited about Kelce singing his praises after the work.
“I had space and I had the opportunity to take the clear, but I thought: 'Man, this is the first time he plays in an AFC championship game, let me wet my feet a little.'
'I went, and I ran away, and he says:' That is not being great ', and I'm like,' he's right. ''
“He was the first to greet me, reaching the bank and said:” This is how you are great, Dawg. “I was like, 'Aw, man, this is the dream.'
In addition to his clearance, Remigio made two receptions for 48 yards in his rookie season. Chiefs have the opportunity to become the first three -mobs team when they face Philadelphia Eagles for the Lombardi trophy on February 9.
