“I’d rather keep the focus on this team, right now,” Kelce said. “All the conversations I have with the t eam moving forward will be with them. I think it’s a unique time in my life. I’ve got three games left and I know when the season ends this year.

“Typically, we go into it and we don’t know when it’s going to end and that’s the beauty of it. Just trying to make sure that everybody here knows that I’m focused on trying to win football games, these last three games.”

The Chiefs are currently third in the AFC West with a 6-8 record and a three-game losing skid. After last week’s 16-13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, they were eliminated from playoff contention for the first time since 2014.

Travis Kelce himself has had an underwhelming campaign with the team. In 14 games, the tight end tallied 797 yards and five TDs receiving.

Travis Kelce gets real on playing the last three games for the Chiefs despite missing playoffs

Even though the Chiefs will not be in the playoffs, Travis Kelce made the decision to play in the remaining three games for his team.

He went on to talk about integrity while expressing his loyalty to the franchise as a factor in this decision.

“It’s just intergrity, man,” Kelce said as per ESPN. “I signed up to be a Chief, and I love doing what I do. I know I’ve been dreaming of being in these moments and playing for an NFL team since I was a kid.

“Getting back to that will give you more motivation than you could ever need. That’s just how you need to go about work, whether you’re in the playoff race or not. I’m going to make sure these guys know I’m out there giving them everything I got.”

The Chiefs next face the Tennessee Titans on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
