Travis Kelce is a 3x Super Bowl winner and dates pop icon Taylor Swift. Buying a Christmas present for someone who has achieved so much in his 35 years of existence isn’t exactly a cakewalk, but Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, knows the perfect gift for his teammate.

Despite an injury-hit, topsy-turvy season, the Chiefs won every single game barring one (Buffalo Bills). Mahomes threw for over 3500 yards and 20+ touchdowns before facing the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day.

The 29-year-old sat down with popular NFL junkie/host of the Up & Adams Show, Kay Adams, for a special holiday segment. Adams asked Mahomes to name the gift that would be perfect for Travis Kelce on Christmas.

He’s got everything… Maybe some acting lessons.

Patrick Mahomes joked.

Kelce turned a few heads as a guest actor on the popular horror TV series ‘Grotesquerie’ and further as the host of the reality TV show ‘Are You Smarter than a Celebrity’ (a revamped version of the popular show ‘Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader’).

The Chiefs breezed past the Steelers in Pittsburgh on Wednesday. Mahomes set up Kelce for 8 receptions, 84 yards and 1 touchdown. Kelce became the first player in Chiefs franchise history to record 1000 receptions and just the third TE ever to reach that mark. He further broke Chiefs legend Tony Gonzalez’s 76 touchdown record.

Unfortunately, Kelce’s pop star icon Taylor Swift wasn’t in attendance for the historic moment. After the game, reporters asked Mahomes to describe Kelce’s legacy in the NFL.

He’s done so much for this organization on and off the field. For him to have the career he’s had has been special. [At the end of the day], he wants to win the ring [Super Bowl] more than anything, but it’s awesome that he can have that accomplishment.

Patrick Mahomes said.

The win over the Steelers locked the AFC Top seed for the Chiefs and a bye week in the playoffs. Reporters asked Kelce to describe the feeling of reaching their goal even though they played three games in 11 days.

There’s only one way you beat a challenge, and that’s to beat it head-on. I got a lot of love for coach [Andy] Reid for how he’s challenged us these last three games and how he’s challenged us all year.

Travis Kelce said.

Travis Kelce has 97 receptions for 823 yards and 3 touchdowns in 2024. On the final day, the Chiefs are set to play divisional rivals the Denver Broncos, and Kelce will have the opportunity to reach 100 receptions in a season for the fourth time in his NFL career.
