Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes couldn’t hide their excitement about playing in Brazil for the first time. The Chiefs will face the Los Angeles Chargers, and for the legendary tight end, this is a huge opportunity to help grow football worldwide.
“It’s exciting. We’re trying to take this game worldwide. We’re so fortunate that Brazil had the interest of wanting to see more of the NFL.

I’ve been watching soccer games all week, I’ve been watching last year’s game that the Eagles won and it’s just exciting times to be down here and play in front of Brazilian crowd.”
Although all the attention is centered on playing a regular-season game in Sao Paulo, the win is crucial for the Kansas City Chiefs as they aim to take an early lead in the AFC West. With many experts viewing the Chargers as a real threat to conquer the division, there’s a lot at stake.
