Tight end Travis Kelce was in the spotlight during and after the Chiefs’ 20-13 loss to the Broncos on Christmas night.

Amazon Prime didn’t have a camera dedicated to Kelce, although it did seem that way at times during the broadcast. After the game, Kelce was shown on the field and then heading into the tunnel to the locker room, where a security guard reminded a cameraman he couldn’t follow Kelce.

While on the field following the final gun, a number of Broncos players made a point of greeting Kelce, whose future is a topic of interest among NFL pundits.

One Denver player to meet with Kelce was quarterback Bo Nix, and NFL Films cameras captured the encounter. In a mic’d-up video, Kelce had a cool message for Nix.

“Bo, what’s up, baby?” Kelce asked. “You’re a hell of a competitor, man. You already know, I love playing against you every single time, dog. Do you your thing, baby. Go get yourself one, man.”

That “one” would be a Lombardi Trophy.
