It's business as usual for Travis Kelce and his Kansas City Chiefs on Christmas Eve as the Super Bowl winners landed in Pittsburgh for Wednesday's game against the Steelers.
But spending Christmas Eve away from girlfriend Taylor Swift didn't seem to dampen his festive spirit when he stepped off the plane wearing a Santa hat.
It's the second year in a row the Chiefs have played on Christmas Day, but last year they had a home game in Kansas City that they lost to the Las Vegas Raiders.
A year after their last loss, the Chiefs are on the road this time looking for the one victory needed to clinch first place in the AFC.
The Chiefs shared images of the team landing Tuesday afternoon in Pittsburgh, led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
The quarterback, dressed in a sharp blue suit, has been dealing with a sprained ankle in recent weeks, but quickly made his way down the stairs holding two bags of luggage and showing no signs of pain.

Kelce, 35, has a chance to make history with the Chiefs on Christmas Day.
He is currently tied with Tony Gonzalez for the most touchdowns in Chiefs history with a total of 76, meaning one more touchdown will mean he holds the record in Kansas City.
In the lead-up to the Steelers game, Pittsburgh head coach Mike Tomlin paid great tribute to Kelce in a year in which he hasn't reached the explosive heights of last season.
But if anything, Tomlin explained, the drop in Kelce's stats shows how much unheralded work he's doing for his team.
“He's an incredibly selfless player, I don't think he gets enough credit for that,” Tomlin said.
“Definitely a great playmaker… but really impressed by the unselfishness of his game.”
It's still unclear if Swift will head to Pittsburgh to cheer on Kelce in the Christmas Day game, but if he does, it will be his first road game of the NFL season.
He traveled often to road games last season, but this year he was limited to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.

But now that their Eras Tour is over, Kelce is the busier person on the power couple as the Chiefs step up their efforts to win an unprecedented third straight Super Bowl title.
The Steelers will provide a serious test for the Chiefs. Russel Wilson's team is 10-5 and leads the AFC North, but has the same record as the Baltimore Ravens, who also play on Christmas Day.
With both teams competing for the AFC North title, the Steelers' victory against Kelce and Mahomes is imperative in determining how their postseason will play out.
After Wednesday's game, the Chiefs complete the regular season by visiting the Denver Broncos on January 5.
