Travis Kelce was pretty emotional while admitting he made mistakes that cost his team a Super Bowl on Sunday night.
The star tight end discussed Sunday’s loss with his brother Jason on their post-Super Bowl ‘New Heights’ podcast this week. He appeared to fight back tears as he explained why the Kansas City Chiefs lost.
The AFC champions were unable to complete the three-peat as they were dominated by an inspired Philadelphia Eagles side and lost 40-22 on the night, with Travis making four catches for 39 yards.
With the season now over, the TE has had some time to reflect on what went wrong and confessed that there were some things he should have done better before apologizing to Chiefs fans for “how it ended.”
“Just wasn’t our day,” he said. “Couldn’t find a lick of momentum. I’m kicking myself for some of the tiny, tiny decisions I made on the field.
I wasn’t the best that I could be in motivating my guys and keeping my guys calm, cool and collected and I put a lot of that on myself, you know, as the guy that’s been in the building for 12 years and seen a lot of football and seen a situation just like this, in the Super Bowl.
“It’s a tough pill to swallow. It’s a hard reality, man.”

“I wish things had went different. I wish I had made better decisions early on to help my guy Pat out and help my team find that momentum and that confidence.
“But you know, I just have to tip my hat to the Eagles.”

Travis Kelce Does Not Care About His New Super Bowl Record
Jason Kelce would point out to his brother that he actually set a new record in Sunday’s game for the most catches in Super Bowl history.
The former Cincinnati standout has 35 total Super Bowl receptions, two more than Jerry Rice’s 33. But it is difficult to care about personal records so soon after losing what would have been a legacy-setting Super Bowl game.
“That’s the last thing that I care about right now,” he said.

It now remains to be seen what Travis Kelce will decide to do in terms of his future.
While clearly no longer the player he used to be, Kelce still has one year remaining on his deal with the Chiefs and could be motivated to return for another shot at glory.
He refused to reveal his plans while speaking to reporters after the game, ducking out while a question was being asked. But we should know soon enough.
New Report Reveals Travis Kelce’s Heartbreaking Reaction To Fans Booing Taylor Swift At The Super Bowl

Travis Kelce was reportedly upset hearing his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, being treated so badly inside Caesars Superdome.
Just last year, Swift performed at the Caesars Superdome as part of her Eras Tour.
Months later, she found herself being booed heavily when being shown on the jumbotron. The singer showed a surprised reaction with a facial gesture and some words.
The game, which Taylor Swift attended to support her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, ended in a loss for his team, the Kansas City Chiefs.
Losing the game was bad enough, but it was particularly tough for Kelce since he heard the boos being directed to the love of his life.
According to a report by Daily Mail, Kelce knew what was going on, and he reportedly felt helpless after seeing how the fans treated Swift.
“Travis was aware of Taylor getting booed, and he felt helpless. Seeing the look on her face got to him,” revealed Daily Mail’s source.

“He always protects her, and it broke his heart. He was already having a tough night and the fact that the stadium was predominantly Eagles fans didn’t help. Travis knows that this hurt her, and anyone can see this.”
Taylor Swift Also Dealt With Being Trolled By Donald Trump
Swift – one of many celebrities in the Superdome audience – was shown on the jumbotron but her reaction was much different.
This display prompted boos from the Eagles fan base who attended the big game.
That was just the start of things for Taylor Swift.
President Donald Trump revived his issues against the pop star by mocking the singer after she was booed by fans at the Caesars Superdome on Sunday night.
Trump, who attended the game in New Orleans with his daughter, Ivanka Trump, was widely cheered when shown.
Trump posted videos contrasting the applause he received to what Swift got when she was shown.
