An awkward moment threw a wrench in Amazon\u2019s coverage of Travis Kelce\u2019s possible last moments at Arrowhead Stadium in a Chiefs uniform.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With retirement rumors swirling<\/a>, the future Hall of Fame tight end high-fived fans and waved to the Kansas City crowd after the Chiefs\u2019 20-13 loss to the Broncos in an emotional scene.<\/p>\n

As he walked into the Chiefs\u2019 tunnel, a cameramen attempted to follow Kelce during the extended postgame scene.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when a Chiefs employee stepped in.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rather than catching the emotional moment, Amazon\u2019s cameraman was stopped as Kelce, 36, walked through the hallway.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Play-by-play announcer Al Michaels wasn\u2019t happy, to say the least.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t let a camera go down the hallway for whatever reason, don\u2019t ask me. I mean, come on,\u201d Michaels said during the scene.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Analyst Kirk Herbstreit joked that the Chiefs employee was \u201cbowed up.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the postgame press conference, Kelce opened up about the touching moment<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYou only get a few of those where you just get to stand there and appreciate 60 to 70,000 Chiefs fans screaming for you,\u201d Kelce said. \u201cI always embrace that moment, man. It\u2019s fun. Hopefully I got everybody fired up for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Patrick Mahomes and backup quarterback Gardner Minshew II both sidelined with knee injuries, Kelce only had five receptions for 36 yards with third-string Chris Oladokun under center.<\/p>\n

When asked after the game about retirement, Kelce said, \u201cI\u2019ll let that be a decision I\u2019ll make with my family, friends, the Chiefs organization when the time comes.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a pre-recorded segment that aired before Thursday\u2019s game, Kelce said he was still undecided<\/a> on what his playing future holds.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I\u2019m still searching for those answers,\u201d Kelce said of his retirement decision. \u201cObviously, the way this one ended with a sour taste in my mouth. I feel motivated but I\u2019ve got to make the right decision for me. I gotta hope that if I do wanna come back that the Chiefs are willing to bring me back. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a two-way street on that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An awkward moment threw a wrench in Amazon\u2019s coverage of Travis Kelce\u2019s possible last moments at Arrowhead Stadium…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":374130,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[142116,64,63,1240,202124,593,85,14068],"class_list":["post-374129","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-al-michaels","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-kansas-city-chiefs","tag-kirk-herbstreit","tag-nfl","tag-sports","tag-travis-kelce"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/374129","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=374129"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/374129\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/374130"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=374129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=374129"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=374129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
