Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce celebrate the Chiefs’ Christmas win

Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce celebrate their Christmas game win with an extra sweet treat!

On December 25, after the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 29-10 and secured the No. 1 seed in the AFC, Mahomes, 29, and Kelce, 35, returned to the field to meet the senior NFL reporter Join Stacey Dales. They were surprised by Netflix with footballs made of cake. After struggling to get his football open, Kelce broke it open.

“Oh yeah, look at that,” the tight end says, holding up the cake that was captured on video and posted on X by the team. “A little red velvet.”

While Kelce took a bite of the cake, his quarterback decided not to taste it.

“I’m watching my weight until the playoffs, you know?” the quarterback says with a laugh.

“More push-aways than pull-ins, that’s what Coach (Andy) Reid would say,” agrees Kelce as he continues to eat the cake.

As the three continue to chat, Dales asks Kelce how the cake tastes.

“Very red velvet,” Kelce replies. “It’s exactly right. It is good. I’m going to take this to the locker room and get some victory cake.”

However, Mahomes had other plans for his cake. “Coach Reid is ready for it, I’ll take it to him,” he said.

Aside from celebrating with the cake, Mahomes also shared during the interview what the win means to him and his family, including his wife Brittany Mahomes, 30, who is pregnant, their 3-year-old daughter Sterling Skye and 2- one-year-old son, bronze.

“I told my wife I would get her the No. 1 seed so we could have the baby,” he says.

Kelce, on the other hand, kept his girlfriend Taylor Swift in the festive spirit by gifting gifts to Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones and his girlfriend Sheawna Weathersby.

On Christmas Day, Weathersby shared a photo of beautifully wrapped presents under a festive tree on her Instagram Story. Attached was a card signed “Merry Christmas” from “Travis and Taylor.”

“So blessed and grateful this holiday season,” Weathersby captioned the snap, adding, “Thank you so much Tay Tay!!!”

The Chiefs will play one more game next week against the Broncos in Denver to close out the regular season.
