A seasoned veteran of the NFL,Ā Travis KelceĀ has learned to keep his cool amid adversity.
On a new episode of his podcastĀ New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce,Ā the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, reflected on going touchdown-less in the first two games of the season.
āI used to get really, really pissed off and almost lose my cool,ā Travis told his brotherĀ Jason, 36, about past frustrating performances. āI just like to play the game to such a high level of accountability that itās just tough for me to deal with being mediocre or having stats that represent that.ā
In the Chiefsā first two games of the season ā against theĀ Baltimore Ravens on Sept. 5Ā and theĀ Cincinnati Bengals on Sept. 15Ā ā Travis has collectively made four catches for 39 yards. Those numbers arenāt on par with the tight endās usual stats, but he said heās not worried about picking up the pace as the season continues.
The Chiefs star explained how āa lot of thingsā have to āgo right for anybody to get the ballā in a competitive NFL game, and it just hasnāt happened yet between him and Kansas Cityās quarterbackĀ Patrick Mahomes.
āItās just for whatever reason, these past two games, it hasnāt gone that way for me, and thatās football, man. Iām not about to sit here and get frustrated about it,ā Travis remarked.
Travis added that he āstopped caring about stats about four or five years ago,ā and that helped him be able to ājust play freeā and develop a ābetter mentalityā around competition.
Mahomes, too, said heās not concerned about Travisā early stats.
āObviously weāve played two opponents [Ravens, Bengals] weāve played a lot, so they have a plan on how theyāre going to account for Travis,āĀ MahomesĀ told reportersĀ after their win on Sunday. āBut as the season goes on, I mean, heās going to get his catches, heās going to get his yards, but the leader he is, whatās special is heās hyping everybody up, heās keeping everybody motivated, and thatās what you need out of your great players.ā
In theĀ matchup against Joe Burrow and the Bengals, the Chiefs narrowly defeated Cincinnati in a thrilling game in front of Travisā girlfriendĀ Taylor Swift.
Burrowās Bengals carried a 16-10 lead into halftime but Kansas City took the advantage in the third quarter with a touchdown, before the teams continued trading leads.
Mahomes, 29, threw two interceptions in the game and Burrow fumbled at the start of the fourth quarter, but it was a 51-yard field goal from Chiefs kickerĀ Harrison ButkerĀ that secured Kansas City its second win of the season.
