Travis Kelce sets the tone for 2025 Andy Reid’s Chiefs: ā€˜Last year wasn’t a success’

Travis Kelce isn't sugarcoating anything heading into the 2025 season. Despite another AFC title, the Chiefs star made it clear that falling short of a Super Bowl win means falling short. Period. With his sights locked on another ring, Kelce is setting the tone for a no-excuses campaign.

The Kansas City Chiefs just received their rings as AFC champions after the 2024 season. However, that doesn’t matter much to Travis Kelce, as his goals are always set much higher.

ā€œEverybody has their own view on it. Unfortunately for me, I’m only interested in Super Bowl rings. I know what the AFC Championship means to this organization and the family. The 15 wins and everything is something special that I’ll let everybody else be happy with. Last year wasn’t a success for me. I’m motivated to make sure that we get that other ring this year.ā€

The Chiefs were dominated in the last Super Bowl 40-22 by the Philadelphia Eagles, and this year they will try to keep alive a dynasty that, at least within their conference, could be threatened by rivals like the Bills and the Ravens.

Can the Chiefs win the Super Bowl?

Travis Kelce is convinced that the Chiefs can win the Super Bowl in the 2025 season. The legendary tight end pointed out that a key factor is the mindset instilled by head coach Andy Reid.

ā€œCoach Reid has set the tone. He challenges us every single week and every single year. It’s a mentality that I know is going to set us up for success down the road.ā€

Additionally, Kelce mentioned that the only thing that would make the upcoming season a success is winning another championship. ā€œThat’s the only way I’d determine whether it’s a success or not (winning the Super Bowl). It’s just how I’m kind of wired now. It’s just more of a genuine feeling and the right mentality to just go out there and make every play for my team.ā€
