During the week, the star tight end of the Kansas City Chiefs experienced back spasms. Initially, it looked like the team would play without Travis Kelce against the Cincinnati Bengals. He was a late addition to the team’s injury report. Therefore, was listed as questionable to play in the AFC Championship Game.
It was a piece of peculiar news. The wife of Patrick Mahomes also wrote a tweet and called the situation “weird.” However, a recent report from ProFootballTalk suggests that the 33-year-old will take part in the matchup. Kelce is good to go and will support his team. After hearing the relieving news, many fans expressed their happiness and excitement about the game ahead.

Fans support and pray for Travis Kelce
The eight-time Pro Bowl pick has been an important component of the Chiefs. His connection with the leading quarterback of the team helps them to win games.
When Kansas City faced the Jacksonville Jaguars last week, he had 98 yards, hauled fourteen passes, and scored two touchdowns. Therefore, the offense of the team would have majorly suffered had Kelce been sidelined from the game.
A fan wrote:
Of course Kelce is going to try to play!
Today you either go to the Super Bowl or go home!

Before Kelce’s unassured status, it was Patrick Mahomes whose sprained ankle made him questionable to play on Sunday. But after practicing for the whole week, he did not land himself on the injury report on Friday. That was one thing that made fans cheerful. Many would agree that without them, the game would have been a bust, although that did not happen. In conclusion, now that the KC fandom knows that their favorite star players will participate in the game, all that’s left to do is sit on their sofas and watch the thrilling game.
