Travis Kelce Says Chiefs Are Going ‘Back to the Drawing Board’ After 1st Loss of NFL Season

Travis Kelce is keeping his head in the game after his team’s first loss of the NFL season.
Kelce, 35, and the Kansas City Chiefs were defeated by the Buffalo Bills 21-30 on the Bills’ home turf on Sunday, November 17. During the latest installment of his “New Heights” podcast with brother Jason Kelce, Travis weighed in on what the Chiefs are taking away from the disappointing result.
“The Bills played a great four-quarter football game. … It was all over the board,” the tight end said on Wednesday, November 20. “[We’re going] back to the drawing board, for sure. I think it was a nice — I don’t want to call it a wake-up call because we went into that game knowing the Bills were one of the top teams in the NFL. Sometimes you just need a different perspective on things.”
He continued, “Watching this game back, you kind of see a trend happening over the past three to four weeks. You just gotta fine tune things. Get back to the basics, get back to the fundamentals. And really just get back to going to work throughout the week. I have all the confidence in the world [that] we’ll be better because of this game, but at the same time, hats off to the Bills for showing up.”

Prior to Sunday’s loss, the Chiefs were undefeated throughout the season with nine wins under their belt. Jason, 37, acknowledged that the Chiefs defense “didn’t play bad,” but the Bills were able to make “plays at the right time” to secure the win.
“[Quarterback] Josh [Allen] played great,” Jason said. “This was two really good teams going up against each other.”

Jason went on to praise Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes and coach Andy Reid for how they approached questions about the team no longer being undefeated following Sunday’s game. Both noted in postgame press conferences that staying undefeated wasn’t the team’s end goal, and Travis agreed.
“You don’t think, ‘Oh, I really want to win this game so I can remain undefeated,'” he explained. “No, we want to win this game because we have a lot of really close football games against the Buffalo Bills and we love f—ing competing against them because they’re one of the best teams in the league. … I get fired up playing against the best teams in the National Football League, and I was fired up for this one and I didn’t play my best. And that s— pisses me off.”
Losing to the Bills made Travis want to “go right back into work on Monday after the game and get after it.” He promised Chiefs fans that the team will try to turn things around before facing off against the Carolina Panthers this week.
