Travis Kelce’s Tremendous Bowl 2025 efficiency was suboptimal.
Which may’ve been as a result of his well being might’ve been described in a lot the identical approach.
Kansas Metropolis normal supervisor Brett Veach was requested throughout an interview with NFL Community on the scouting mix about which model of Kelce the Chiefs might anticipate if he returns subsequent yr, and the chief revealed the 35-year-old tight finish was not feeling himself within the lead-up to the large sport.
“We’re never going to make excuses and talk about it, but he was battling with a pretty big illness there before the Super Bowl,” he stated. “But listen, the way the Eagles played, it wouldn’t have made a difference.”
Kelce was a non-factor within the first half with no catches, and he completed the blowout loss to the Eagles with 4 grabs (six targets) for 39 yards.
The low-output sport was one sport after Kelce was held to 2 catches and 19 yards within the AFC title sport.
Kelce has confronted lingering questions on his NFL future and if he’ll retire.
After 12 seasons, 10 Professional Bowl appearances and three Tremendous Bowl wins and changing into the NFL’s all-time chief in postseason receptions, there hasn’t been lots Kelce hasn’t completed.
However that doesn’t imply he doesn’t have the drive to compete anymore.
In truth, when Veach was requested by The Publish earlier on Tuesday about Kelce, he stated the four-time All-Professional is more likely to come again.
“He has one more year under contract,” Veach stated. “Still think he has that fire and desire to play. As far as I’m concerned, there is no deadline [for a decision] I think we left it as he’d be back. And we’re excited to get him back and get him going.”
