The Las Vegas Raiders defeated the Kansas City Chiefs, 20-14, in one of the more shocking results on Christmas Day.
Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who is currently dating famous pop icon Taylor Swift, grew visibly frustrated during the game. Cameras caught him throwing his helmet.
Speaking this week on the New Heights podcast, as show he co-hosts with his brother, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, the Chiefs tight end spoke about the defending champions’ struggles.
“We handed that team a win on Christmas. We literally played Santa and gave them a present,” Kelce said, according to Fox News.
“That was embarrassing. Everyone in the building knows how embarrassing that was. We got a short week, so we’re gonna forget about this [stuff] real quick.”
Kelce said that it comes down to people needing to do their job.
“Everybody’s gotta just [expletive] do their job. Every single play, somebody’s not doing their job. It’s me, one by one; it’s everybody on the team. Whether that’s prep, whether that’s having the confidence and understanding of what the defense is in … how we’re picking up blitzes, how we’re running routes versus certain overages, all of the above. We show sparks of what kind of offense we can be … it just hasn’t been a well-oiled machine like we’ve been in the past, and we just gotta get everybody on the same [expletive] page.”
The Chiefs are next in action on Sunday when they host the Cincinnati Bengals in AFC play.
