It was a very long season for legendary tight end Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs. Not only did the Chiefs\u2019 nine-year run of winning the AFC West come to an end, but Kansas City missed the playoffs entirely.<\/p>\n
Kelce\u2019s partner and friend, superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes, even went down with a brutal ACL injury that ended his season early and has an outside chance of affecting his availability for the start of the 2026 campaign.<\/p>\n
On Christmas, with the Chiefs already eliminated from the playoffs, Kelce sat down for an interview with former tight end Tony Gonzalez and got candid about the shame that he is feeling.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s frustrating, I feel like I can\u2019t even look my guy, coach Andy Reid, into his eyes right now, because I feel like I just disappoint or I let him down someway, somehow, throughout the year,\u201d Kelce said to Gonzalez.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Fans reacted to Kelce\u2019s harsh words for himself online.<\/p>\n
\u201cTravis your absolutely out of your mind thinking you let anyone down, you were a main ingredient in bringing this team (back)from the literal lowest a team can get,\u201d one fan wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Kelce, you are not a disappointment to anyone that\u2019s a true fan. It\u2019s been a very hard year in maybe the toughest division in the leauge. It\u2019s hard for all. Players and fans know the truth,\u201d someone else added.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe love you Trav decide what is best for you but one more would be great!\u201d one fan added.<\/p>\n
It\u2019ll be interesting to see if Travis puts off retirement for another season in an effort to win his pride back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It was a very long season for legendary tight end Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs.
