After helping lead the Kansas City Chiefs to their second Super Bowl win in four years, record-breaking tight end Travis Kelce is making waves — on the field and off.

There were no poison arrows, spike traps or giant boulders for Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce to contend with, but he did a pretty good Indiana Jones impression for “Saturday Night Live.”

Kelce will be host of “Saturday Night Live” this week, and the show released a promo that has him recreating an iconic scene from “Raiders of the Lost Ark.”

In the movie, Indiana Jones ventures deep into a temple and manages to get his hands on the Chachapoyan Fertility Idol.

For this video, Kelce was trying to get an SNL sign and he uses the Lombardi Trophy as a replacement weight (if you’ve seen the movie, you know what this means).

Cast member Marcello Hernández even recreates Alfred Molina’s character, Satipo in the skit.

This is a nice way to tease this week’s show.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes got a kick out of the spot.
