Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce trolled the AFC West Division rival Las Vegas Raiders following his team's 27-20 win at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday (October 27).
"We run this town," Kelce said as he walked through the tunnel after the game.
The Chiefs have won six games since Allegiant Stadium opened in 2020, which includes all five of the road games of their home and away annual matchups against the Raiders and their Super Bowl LVIII win against the San Francisco 49ers earlier this year, with head coach Andy Reid calling it "Arrowhead West" after the win. Kelce, 35, recorded a season-best 10 receptions for 90 yards, as well as his first touchdown of the 2024 season and the 75th of his NFL career, surpassing former Dallas Cowboys star Jason Witten for fifth on the NFL tight end list on what was dubbed 'National Tight Ends Day.'
Kelce enters the Chiefs' Week 9 Monday Night Football matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers one touchdowns shy of tying Pro Football Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez's franchise record. The three-time Super Bowl champion has bounced back from a slow start to the season, which saw him record 34 yards or less in his first three games, having since recorded 70 or more in three of the last four games.
“I think this year, stats may say something different, but at the same time you’ll see the same person inside this building, and that’s all I really care about,” Kelce said last month via the New York Post. “I’m my own worst critic. Everything outside of this building is just noise.”
