Travis Kelce slams helmet in sideline outburst during loss

Travis Kelce was going through it during Kansas City’s 20-17 loss to the Eagles on Sunday in a Super Bowl 2025 rematch.

The 35-year-old Chiefs tight end was clearly frustrated on the sidelines, as seen in a now-viral social media video taken just before halftime as Kansas City led, 10-7.

Kelce slammed his helmet and appeared to yell, “I’m sick of this s–t!”

It’s unclear exactly what Kelce was talking about, but it seemed fitting for the day he had.

Kelce had a costly drop in the fourth quarter that turned into an Eagles score on the following possession for a commanding 20-10 lead.

A pass intended for Kelce from Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes bounced off his hands and was intercepted by Eagles safety Andrew Mukuba.

Kelce wasn’t happy with himself as he was seen pacing on the sidelines after the interception.

During his postgame press conference, Mahomes took full responsibility for it, saying he threw the ball “a tad too early.”

“We got the defense that we wanted,” Mahomes said. “We expected them to play that [Cover] zero, zero with the hole player, the safety. I just threw it a tad too early. Just trying to put it on his body low before that hole player got there. I think if I can put it more on his body, and not so far out in front of him, then he can catch it, take the hit, and get in the end zone.

Kelce’s fiancée, Taylor Swift, apparently snuck into Arrowhead Stadium, but she kept a low profile and was not shown on the Fox broadcast.

Sunday’s loss came months after Philadelphia routed Kansas City in the big dance, 40-22, stealing their shot at a historic three-peat on Feb. 9.

Kelce, who had four grabs for 39 yards in the Super Bowl loss, even weighed the possibility of retirement earlier in the offseason.

During a pre-game sit-down with Fox Sports sideline reporter Erin Andrews, Kelce said he has more to prove on the football field while reflecting on the Super Bowl loss.

He spent most of the offseason training in Florida, where he slimmed down for his 13th season.

Kelce, who will turn 36 in October, posted a career-low 823 yards and 97 receptions in 2024.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid told reporters that Kelce was in great shape and looked half his age at training camp.

The Chiefs (0-2) play the Giants (0-2) at MetLife Stadium next Sunday.
