Kelce says no to ‘crazy decisions’ for future games
On his podcast, New Heights, Kelce opened up about the Chiefs' heartbreaking Super Bowl loss, reflecting on the emotional aftermath of the game. He shared his thoughts on how football can "humble" players in an instant, and for the Chiefs, that humbling moment came in the form of their defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Chiefs tight end player said, “It’s a tough pill to swallow, man. Every time we felt like we made a big play or we got something going, a penalty would happen, or we’d be going backwards. Then, on top of that, just not executing the play calls. It wasn’t the play calls. It was the cumulative effort of everybody just not finding a way to get it done, man. To happen on the biggest stage sucks, but to have it happen for the second time of my career on the biggest stage, it’s a tough pill to swallow," as reported by Cheatsheet.
Talking about his future with the NFL, Kelce assured that he is not “making any crazy decisions” just yet. He added, “I know everybody wants to know whether or not I’m playing next year. Right now, I’m just kicking everything down the road. I’m kicking every can that I can down the road. I’m not making any crazy decisions, but right now, the biggest thing is just being there for my teammates and being there for my coaches, understanding that there’s a lot that goes into this thing.”
