NFLTravis Kelce Gets Deadline from Kansas City Chiefs to Make Decision About Retirement:

It wasn’t the play calls, it was a cumulative effort of everybody just not finding a way to get it done, man,” Kelce said of the game.

“And to happen on the biggest stage sucks, but to have it happen for the second time in my career on the biggest stage, man, it’s a tough pill to swallow. It’s a hard reality, man,” he went on, getting visibly choked up. The Chiefs lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020’s Super Bowl LV.

Despite his difficulties during the Super Bowl, Kelce has had a historic run in the NFL thus far, becoming the third all-time tight end in career receptions with 1,004, as well as third in receiving yards with 12,151, The Athletic reported. He also comes in fifth for all-time career receiving touchdowns with 77.

The tight end has by March 14 — or a month to decide — whether or not he’ll continue his career in the NFL.

Rumors of Kelce’s potential retirement sparked soon after last Sunday’s game ended with the Chief’s tough 40-22 loss to the Eagles. The Chiefs had entered the game as the 4-time and reigning Super Bowl champions.
