When Travis Kelce walked off the field at the Superdome, he knew there was a possibility that he had just played his final NFL game. The longtime Chiefs tight end had himself a rough night in Super Bowl 59 — as did the rest of his teammates.

Travis Kelce is coming back for a 13th NFL season. The Kansas City Chiefs star tight end is "coming back for sure" next season and has a "bad taste in his mouth" after losing Super Bowl LIX, he revealed on "The Pat McAfee Show" on Thursday.

Buzz had been building regarding Kelce's return since earlier in the week, when Chiefs GM Brett Veach said he was expecting the veteran tight end back in 2025. Pat McAfee shared texts supposedly from Kelce on Thursday, with the former All-Pro revealing he is "coming back for sure."
