Star tight end Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs are currently in the midst of their third offseason in four years that features them celebrating a recent Super Bowl championship win, this time courtesy of an overtime victory vs the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 58 vs the San Francisco 49ers. While both Kelce and the Chiefs as a whole saw their production numbers take a dramatic tumble during this year's regular season, the team, led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes, got things together just in time for the playoffs, winning four straight games en route to the victory.
Recently, the Chiefs' Super Bowl championship rings were released, and fans were quick to notice a typo on the ring, which stated that the Miami Dolphins–the team the Chiefs defeated in the Wild Card round in what was one of the coldest games in NFL history–were listed as being the seventh seed in the AFC when in actuality they represented the conference's sixth seed.
One person who could not seem to care less about this mistake is none other than Kelce himself.
“I don't give a s***,” said Kelce, per the New Heights podcast with recently retired brother Jason (via Air Meirov of The 33rd Team on X, the social media platform formerly referred to as Twitter). “I like it that we didn't give a f*** about what seed Miami was. F*** it. Yeah, they were the seventh. Who cares? They could have done no seeds on the side of them and I would have been fine. I think it makes it more unique, like, ‘oh yeah, and we made it really detailed and oops, we screwed up.' It just makes it more exclusive, like we screwed up about something that means nothing.”
Can the Chiefs repeat?
In theory, there's no reason why the Chiefs shouldn't be celebrating their fourth Super Bowl in five years–and third straight overall–around this time in 2025 if they are able to stay relatively healthy over the course of the upcoming 2025 season. As previously mentioned, this was by far the worst iteration of the team so far during Mahomes' tenure, including the least productive season from Mahomes himself, and the Chiefs were still able to flip a switch and look like the best version of themselves come playoff time.
A big part of the reason why the Chiefs were able to stay above water throughout the regular season was on the back of their defense, which was among the league's elite units this year. Offensively, the Chiefs have only gotten better this year, drafting speedy wide receiver Xavier Worthy out of the University of Texas to give Mahomes yet another weapon at his disposal. In fact, Mahomes even restructured his contract this offseason in an effort to give the team the maximum amount of cash to work with.
In any case, the Chiefs' bid for a repeat will begin with a game vs the Baltimore Ravens in September.
