Chiefs star reveals Travis Kelce's inspirational message on sideline during Bills game

Chiefs rookie wide receiver Nikko Remigio’s game-changing play against the Bills was inspired by a message from Travis Kelce, the 25-year-old revealed.

In a recent appearance on the Up and Adams Show with Kay Adams, Remigio shared how Kelce pulled him aside during their AFC championship game against Buffalo with short yet impactful advice.

The veteran approached the rookie after he ‘fair caught’ a punt return early in the game.

‘Trav had came up to me earlier in the game and he was like, ‘That’s not being great, bro,” Remigio said. ‘So I knew going into this next opportunity that I had to make something happen.’

‘I went and took a peak down the field and saw that it was gonna be тιԍнт and it was gonna be a quick play and, you know, just made it happen.’

Remigio returned the punt for 41 yards to help Kansas City maintain their early advantage. They would hold on to the lead and secure a 32-29 win to punch a ticket to the Super Bowl.

The Fresno State product also admitted why he hesitated the first time and raved about Kelce singing his praises after the play.

‘I had some room and I had an opportunity to take the punt but I was like, ‘Man, this is my first time playing in an AFC championship game, let me just get my feet wet a bit.’

‘I went, and I ran to the sidelines, and he’s like, ‘That’s not being great,’ and I’m like, ‘he’s right.”

‘He was the first one to greet me, coming to the sideline and he was like, ‘That’s how you be great, dawg.’ I was like, ‘Aw, man, this is the dream.’

Besides his punt returns, Remigio made two receptions for 48 yards in his rookie season. The Chiefs have the opportunity to become the first team to three-peat when they face the Philadelphia Eagles for the Lombardi trophy on February 9.
