‘I think Trav has been very healthy throughout his career. This is a guy who has always found a way to present himself in top physical shape.
‘And I know the optics are that he’s all over the place, and that’s not dishonest in reality, but he still keeps the main thing. Football has always been the most important thing in Trav’s life.
Travis had one of his best nights of the season, hauling in nine catches for 70 yards.
Swift declared the win “perfect” as Kelce and the Chiefs now head into their bye week.
“He’s always lived his life to the fullest. He’s really enjoyed his offseasons, even before Taylor Swift and everything that’s going on in our lives. And I think, you know, he’ll always find a way to make football the number one priority.” one in terms of preparation.
“There are so many things that depend on this, between his relationship with his teammates, Andy Reed, and his legacy.
‘So I know it’s been a slow start for him. Trav will always find a way to show up and show off. I think it’s only a matter of time before we go back to the Travis Kelce we’ve seen.
During the night, Jason was seen kissing his wife Kylie during a commercial break while on the Monday Night Football panel.
Also during another commercial break, the quartet on ESPN’s pregame show signed a fan’s prosthetic leg.
