NFL star calls out Travis Kelce over New Heights comments

NFL star calls out Travis Kelce over New Heights comments

Cincinnati Bengals star Cam Taylor-Britt has given a public retort to Travis Kelce’s comments about the final week of the NFL regular season. 

The Bengals entered Week 18 needing three things to happen to secure a postseason berth – Cincinnati to take care of its own business on the road against the Steelers, a Jets victory over the Dolphins, and the Chiefs to defeat the Broncos. 

Two of the three happened, with the Bengals besting playoff-bound Pittsburgh and New York ending its tumultuous season with a win. 

The AFC-best Chiefs rested most of their starters and got blown out by the Broncos 38-0 with the top seed in the conference locked up no matter the result. If Kansas City had been at its best, the result would have definitively been changed.  

‘I ain’t scared of f**king nobody,’ Kelce said of the Bengals. ‘I wanted them in the playoffs.’

Taylor-Britt’s call-out – ‘Cap, shut that shi up,’ with one crying emoji and a crying-while-laughing emoji.

The Chiefs had the luxury of resting their best players against the Broncos, who would have been eliminated from the postseason with a loss. 

Denver had everything to play for, while Kansas City had very little. Bengals fans were upset they did not get a lifeline from the two-time-defending Super Bowl champions.

Although the Bengals won their final five games of the season, they dug themselves a hole too deep to get into the playoffs, even if they were playing some of the best football in the NFL in the regular season’s home stretch. 

The Bengals would have been a tough out in the postseason with the Buffalo Bills as their opponent during Wild Card weekend. 

Should the unenviable task of getting past the Bills on the road have occurred in this NFL multiverse, the Chiefs would have been waiting at Arrowhead in the Divisional round. 

Kansas City was obligated to take care of itself and did so and by proxy, sent home Joe Burrow after a phenomenal season. 

Whenever the Bengals and Chiefs line up again next, with the next guaranteed matchup in 2027, there will be no love lost between the franchises who have represented the AFC in the last five Super Bowls.
