Mics Caught Travis Kelce’s Classy Message to Josh Allen Moments After Chiefs’ Loss to Bills

In this story:
Travis Kelce almost pulled off one of the coolest plays in NFL history Sunday against the Bills, only to have it called back due to one of his teammates lining up offsides.

While Patrick Mahomes was fuming about it after the game, Kelce was seemingly able to shake it off pretty well. An NFL Films camera caught him having a cool moment with Bills QB Josh Allen moments after the final whistle, with the Chiefs‘ star tight end calling Allen a “warrior” and telling him, “Stay healthy, baby. Keep doing your thing. Way to fight.”
This was pretty cool to see:
