Travis Kelce Furious After Question About Conspiracy Between Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals
The Chiefs defeat in the last week of the year to Denver blocked the Bengals from the NFL Playoffs, and now Travis Kelce has reacted so a major conspiracy about it.
The Kansas City Chiefs come into this season as back-to-back Super Bowl winners, and over that time they've beaten the best that the NFL has to offer en route to making history.
This season however, it appears they've avoided one major threat in the Cincinnati Bengals, and to do so, they lost in Week 18 of the season to the Denver Broncos, essentially eliminating Joe Burrow and their rival from playoff contention.
Now, that's brought to light conspiracies that the Chiefs threw the game on purpose in order to eliminate Cincinnati, but when this topic came up on the New Heights podcast with the brothers Kelce, Travis was adamant that wasn't the case.
I wanted them in the (bleeping) playoffs," Travis barked back. "The Bengals were a fun team to watch toward the end of the season. I'll play them in the Walmart parking lot. I don't give a (bleep). We can have our own game in the offseason."
Kelce made it clear in his comments that the Chiefs are prepared to beat anyone, and with the likes of Buffalo, Detroit and Baltimore all standing in their way of a third straight Super Bowl, they're going to have to be at their very best.
As for this conspiracy, we'll never truly know what happened within the Chiefs locker room, but at this point Kelce is making it clear they're ready to take on anyone, and if Cincinnati were good enough to throw a game to avoid, they should have made the NFL Playoffs anyway.
