After suffering their first loss of the season in Week 12, Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs have bounced back with two straight wins after defeating the Las Vegas Raiders 19-17 in the lone NFL game on Black Friday.
With his girlfriend Taylor Swift in attendance at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, Kelce had another solid performance, even if the game was closer than he wanted it to be. The former Cincinnati Bearcats star tallied seven catches for 68 yards.
Kansas City held the lead for the majority of the game, even going up by as much as 13 points. But Las Vegas was able to score 14 unanswered points to make the score 17-16 in its favor at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Still, Patrick Mahomes and company found a way to get it done, scoring the game-winning field and the final points of the day with just under ten minutes remaining.
After the game, some noticed that Kelce, despite the win, was already in the tunnel, walking back to the locker room as time expired. It certainly appeared he did not take part in any postgame handshakes or greetings.

Other fans noticed Kelce’s postgame actions and left their thoughts on the matter online. “Travis Kelce showing such class leaving the field without shaking hands after a win,” one fan wrote. “I think I hate Kansas City more than I ever hated New England.”
“Travis Kelce continues to put the (expletive) in class,” added another. “Didn’t shake hands after the game. Straight to the locker room. Probably went to get friendship bracelets for the refs. Just retire already loser.” “Travis Kelce left FAST,” said a third. “His chemistry with Mahomes seems so off. I’m not sure what’s up this season.”
“I don’t know why everyone scared to talk about Travis Kelce,” commented a fourth. “He’s such a little girl. He’s not even shaking hands after winning a football game.” “Travis Kelce not shaking hands is on brand for his petty (expletive),” chimed in a fifth.
Kelce and the Chiefs now move to 11-1 on the season and still remain atop the AFC standings as they continue their Super Bowl defense. They will get the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 14 on “Sunday Night Football.”
