Travis Kelce Ready For The Dog Fight Against Buffalo Bills

Considering they eliminated the Bills at the playoff stage in three of the last four years, the pre-match odds will be in favour of the Chiefs, however, it will be a daunting task. Since the stains of past defeats will be fresh in the minds of Bills' squad, a rivalry is brewing, and Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce is up for the challenge and anticipates the contest is going to be a "dog fight."

“Two great coached teams, two superstars at quarterback, and playmakers all over the board. The biggest thing for me is going out there and playing my fu*king tail off for these guys next to me. We’re excited for that challenge. To go up against these Bills. We know they match up very good with us. It’s a very familiar matchup, we’ve seen these guys a lot… That being said, it’s gonna be a dog fight.”

Kelce is poised to make a significant impact in the upcoming matchup. Although he may have seemed somewhat subdued during the past two regular seasons, the Chiefs tend to unleash him in January, and he consistently delivers. Notably, after managing only one 100-yard game during the regular season, Kelce burst back to life in the Divisional Round against the Texans, hauling in seven receptions for 117 yards and a touchdown. Over the 2020 playoffs and beyond, Kelce has appeared in 14 postseason contests, impressively recording at least five receptions and 70 yards in each, while scoring 14 touchdowns during this stretch.
