On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs are gearing up for a pivotal NFL playoff divisional round match against the Buffalo Bills in Orchard Park, New York.
In the lead-up to this highly anticipated game, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce acknowledged the dedication of Bills fans on the latest episode of the “New Heights” podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother, Jason Kelce.
During the podcast, the Kelce brothers discussed the snowfall in Buffalo that resulted in a one-day delay of the Bills’ wild-card game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. With more cold weather expected for the upcoming game, Travis Kelce expressed his admiration for the Bills Mafia’s unwavering support.
“Shoutout to the Bills Mafia, man. Proving yet again they’re one of the coolest f—— fan bases,” Travis said.
Travis Kelce’s shoutout to the Bills Mafia came after Jason noted the fans’ efforts in shoveling snow to clear seating areas at Highmark Stadium during last week’s wild-card round. Despite the challenging weather conditions, Bills fans filled the stadium, enthusiastically supporting their team to victory over the Steelers.
The Bills organization has once again called upon their fans to assist in snow removal at the stadium in preparation for the Sunday game against the Chiefs.
Although the Chiefs are accustomed to playing in cold conditions, having recently participated in one of the coldest playoff games in history, Kelce took a moment to appreciate the Buffalo fans. He commended their energy and commitment to supporting their team, regardless of the weather conditions.
Kelce has 55 catches for 654 yards and has scored seven touchdowns in nine games in the regular season and playoffs versus the Bills in his career. He’s averaged 10.5 catches, 106.0 receiving yards, and 1.5 touchdowns catches in two playoff matches versus Buffalo.
