Travis Kelce praises Texans after divisional round
Following the Chiefs' win over the Texans, star tight end Travis Kelce was complimentary of the way the Texans performed.
“They’re extremely tough individuals and when they play together like that, they can be really hard to beat. I think that has a lot to do with their head coach and just how that trickles down with the leadership and the mentality. They’ve got a great quarterback. I think CJ is going to be unbelievable throughout the rest of his career and really take the bull by the horns.”
The Chiefs continue to prove that they are the gold standard in the NFL currently. They are preparing to compete for an AFC championship for the sixth season in a row, something that not many teams have been able to accomplish.
The Chiefs are going for the third-straight Super Bowl Championship.
