Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been Patrick Mahomes' top target ever since Mahomes took over as the Chiefs' starting quarterback in 2018, and apparently, the feeling is mutual. Except in a different way.
Kelce decided to fire a playful shot at Mahomes during a press conference this week, roasting Mahomes with a hilarious voice impression.

Kelce said it was payback for Mahomes.
"He had that one coming for telling everybody I didn't know where Brazil was on the map," Kelce said.
The Chiefs will actually begin their regular season on Friday when they play the Los Angeles Chargers in...yup, you guessed it: Brazil.
Kansas City is not the defending champion for the first time in three years, as the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Chiefs in the Super Bowl last February.
There are actually a lot of questions surrounding Kansas City heading into 2025, so much so that many are picking either the Baltimore Ravens or Buffalo Bills to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl this coming winter.
But it's very difficult to count out the Chiefs, who have won three championships over the last six seasons and have made it to five Super Bowls throughout that span.
Kelce himself has shown some signs of decline in recent years, but he remains one of the best tight ends in football. Last season, he hauled in 97 receptions for 823 yards and three touchdowns, earning his 10th straight Pro Bowl appearance.
Meanwhile, Mahomes has had a couple of strange years in a row, as well. He has looked entirely mortal the past two campaigns, particularly last year in the Super Bowl. During the 2024 regular season, he threw for a career-low 3,928 yards (as a starter) while tossing 26 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
We'll see if Mahomes, Kelce and the Chiefs can re-establish themselves as NFL royalty this year.
