For Pete's Sake

Mic’-up Travis Kelce had fun interactions with official, Kareem Hunt, Chiefs teammates

There may not be a better choice among Chiefs players to wear a microphone during a game than tight end Travis Kelce.

That was evident in a video the Chiefs shared on Thursday. Kelce was mic’d-up Sunday during the Chiefs’ 33-29 win over the Cleveland Browns, and there was some fun moments before, during and after the game.

For starters, Kelce asked umpire Tony Michalek: “Hey are you going to be calling some physical stuff today? Or are you going to let it ride?”

At one point, Kelce told his teammates: “Hey, listen, I’m gonna ball for you all. You just do the same.”

The Chiefs trailed Cleveland 22-10 at halftime, and when he came out for the third quarter Kelce told himself: “Come on Trav. Come on. This city needs you.”

After the Chiefs rallied for the victory, thanks to a pair of Kelce touchdown receptions, he met the Browns’ Myles Garrett, Baker Mayfield and his former teammate, Kareem Hunt.

Hunt said: “That’s my dog.”

Kelce responded: “I love you bro.”

This is a fun video from the Chiefs:
