Chiefs' Travis Kelce Takes Another Shot at Raiders
Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce has been having the time of his life since earning his second Super Bowl title in February.
The future Hall of Famer still has some fun before training camp begins later this summer, including a televised golf match with his teammate Patrick Mahomes.
Kelce and Mahomes will take on Golden State Warriors teammates Steph Curry and Klay Thompson in Capital One's annual golf competition, "The Match," which is set to be aired this Thursday on TNT.
Kelce took the opportunity to take a little jab at his team's biggest rival, the Las Vegas Raiders, when he spoke with NFL Network's Steve Wyche on Sunday.
"The message right now [to Curry and Thompson] is: 'We've never lost in Vegas,'" Kelce said. "Both on the golf course -- as a team, we beat everybody at Justin Timberlake's golf tournament and then, obviously, the Raiders. Haven't lost to the Raiders yet. I don't even want to say 'yet.' We've just never lost in Vegas, and that's the bottom line."
Not only have Kelce and the Chiefs not lost in Las Vegas, they haven't lost to the Raiders since October of 2020, their only loss to the Silver and Black in their last 11 meetings.
Kelce also had some fun with that fact earlier this month when he said the following on the FanDuel TV show, "Run it Back":
"I love Raiders fans, man," Kelce said. "Every time I see you guys, we have a great time, man."
Kelce had his way against the Raiders when Kansas City last hosted them, as the All-Pro tight end racked up four touchdowns in the Chiefs' Week 5 victory on Monday Night Football.
If there's a time to talk smack with no repercussions, the offseason following a Super Bowl title would certainly be it.
But Kelce and the Chiefs better be sure his words don't jinx them this coming season.
After all, nothing lasts forever.
The Raiders will host the Chiefs on Nov. 26 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas before the rivals meet again at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City on Christmas Day.
