Kelce, who’s faced many questions about retirement this season, has acknowledge he’s toward the end of his career on his “New Heights” podcast with brother Jason Kelce.
Refreshed for the playoffs, tight end Travis Kelce had seven catches for 117 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 23-14 divisional round win over the Texans.

After appearing in all four postseason games for the Chiefs last season, Kelce's girlfriend, Taylor Swift, made her return to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium for the start of the new playoff run. This marked the 21st Kansas City game that Swift has attended since her relationship with Kelce began in September 2023.
The last time Travis Kelce was in action was on Christmas Day when the Kansas City Chiefs secured a 29-10 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium. The All-Pro tight end did not play in the two-time defending champs' final regular game of the season, which turned out to be a 38-0 loss against the Denver Broncos .
Kelce already is the record holder for career postseason receptions with 165. That’s already 14 more than second-place Jerry Rice, the former San Francisco 49ers star. Ex-Patriots receiver Julian Edelman is third on the list with 118. Tyreek Hill is the only other active player in the top 10 and he’s fifth with 96.
If the wild-card round was anything to go by, the NFL playoffs are about to get a lot spicier in the divisional round.
