Earlier this week Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce made an appearance on the "Pat McAfee Show" where he talked about a variety of topics from Patrick Mahomes to Taylor Swift to Adam Sandler.

“Well, I’ve seen him weather the storm; everybody’s mentioning the protection and who we’ve had up front,” Kelce said about his quarterback this season. “I think we figured that puzzle out, and on top of that, I’ve seen Pat weather that storm and become better because of it.”

As the Chiefs prepare for a divisional round showdown against the Houston Texans, Kelce knows what he's getting in the star quarterback.

“I think when the team needs him the most, he steps up in ways he hasn’t before,” Kelce said. “It happens year in, year out, and it’s just so much fun to be a part of the team with him because he’s always going to take the bull by the horns and be the most accountable, be the one that puts it on himself more than he puts it on anybody else. That’s true leadership, right there.”

As for his own future in the league, Kelce admitted that he's feeling great despite being at an advanced age - for an NFL player.

"I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22," he joked, referencing a song by his girlfriend Taylor Swift.

His comment caught the attention of Erin Andrews, who could only offer four laughing emojis after being left speechless by the Chiefs tight end.

Kansas City and Houston are scheduled for a 4:30 p.m. EST kickoff time - much to the chagrin of Texans fans around the country.

The game will be broadcast on ESPN.
