Travis Kelce shared his candid thoughts on the Chiefs’ “scary” win over the Chargers

After the 19:17 home win on Sunday evening against the Los Angeles Chargers, the Kansas City Chiefs have 15 wins, including games with one point.

As with so many Chiefs encounters this year, the game came down to the wire in the final second when kicker Matthew Wright hit a 31-yard walk-off field goal to seal the win for the newly crowned AFC West champions.

Chiefs star Travis Kelce helped run the clock late in the game with a crucial catch to secure another set of downs and finished the night with five receptions for 45 yards. In the process, he made cool NFL history and became the fastest tight end to reach 12,000 career receiving yards (172 games), surpassing Tony Gonzalez’s previous record of 210 games.

“How you look at it, how you make a play, man,” Kelce said when asked what he and Mahomes tell each other after clutch plays. “It fires you up when you can seal the game like that at the end. It’s always a little scary when you know you’re down a point because you have to kick a field goal. I feel a lot more comfortable trying to score a touchdown there, but that’s just me.”

After another dramatic result for Kansas City, Kelce also spoke about the team’s mentality at the end of these extremely stressful games.

“We weren’t perfect in some situations, but you know, we never stop believing,” Kelce told reporters. “So it’s just an extra ability to dig a little deeper, have that much confidence, play fast and know that the team needs you the most and you have to take responsibility.”

As for his immediate reaction to Wright’s windfall: “The bank is open on Sundays.”
