Travis Kelce admitted he should be one of the players to blame for the painful loss the Kansas City Chiefs suffered against the Eagles in the last Super Bowl. During mandatory minicamp, the tight end took responsibility for what happened.
āLast year, I think I failed especially in that last game in being a leader and being the one that can step up and make plays. So, just setting the bar even higher for myself this year than I have in the past.ā
Although the final score was 40-22, the reality is that the game was decided by the third quarter, when Philadelphia held a 34-6 lead. That day, Patrick Mahomes had no chances and was sacked six times.
Why did Chiefs lose Super Bowl to Eagles?
Travis Kelce was very honest in mentioning that one of the reasons why the Chiefs lost the Super Bowl against the Eagles was him. The veteran publicly said he wasnāt at his best and made several mistakes in New Orleans.
āI just didnāt make the plays that I thought I should have made. I didnāt get open in certain situations. Blocking the right guys. Having my attention to detail. Motivating my guys to, you know, get the energy, the focus and the confidence that we needed during that game. In that area, I just felt like I failed our guys.ā
