Chiefs' Travis Kelce shares blunt takes about loss to Broncos

Kansas City Chiefs All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce didn't hide his displeasure while speaking about this past Sunday's 24-9 loss at the Denver Broncos that dropped the Chiefs to 6-2 on the season. 

"F---, that’s embarrassing, man," Kelce said about the game during the latest edition of the "New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce" podcast, per Matt Ehalt of the New York Post. "I don’t think I’ve been in a situation where we’ve stalled this much as an offense throughout the year, definitely at this point in the season. We got a lot of guys that usually figure out how to get this thing going, and it’s just frustrating, man." 

Much has been made about how Kelce and the Chiefs produce better overall performances this season when Taylor Swift is in attendance amid the reported relationship between the future Hall of Famer and the entertainment superstar. This past Sunday, Kelce recorded six catches for 58 yards and no touchdowns when Swift wasn't at Empower Field at Mile High. Meanwhile, the Kansas City offense accumulated just 275 total yards in the losing effort. 

"That was a pretty embarrassing game," Kelce acknowledged. "At least for myself, speaking, my coaches and my teammates don’t deserve that out of me, for sure." 

Life gets no easier for Kelce and company, as the Chiefs next face the 6-2 Miami Dolphins in Frankfurt, Germany, this coming Sunday. As of Wednesday afternoon, OddsChecker listed the Chiefs as 1.5-point favorites against the Dolphins. 

"Don’t think we’re not in this thing feeling the urgency," Kelce added. "We just got to go out there and freaking do it. It starts with not killing ourselves, man. Just daggers. Just guys running the wrong routes, guys not making blocks, guys dropping the football. It’s frustrating and it’s a challenge. It’s a challenge at this point in the season to get this thing right right now before it gets out of control and it gets really bad." 

Michael Blinn of the New York Post suggested earlier in the week that Swift likely won't attend the game in Germany due to the fact that she begins the international portion of her Eras Tour in Argentina on Nov. 9. The Chiefs have only lost this season when Swift is not in the building.
