Following their Week 18 victory over the\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers\u00a0and a\u00a0Miami Dolphins\u00a0loss, Cincinnati would have captured the AFC&#8217;s final wild-card spot if Kansas City defeated the\u00a0Denver Broncos.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for the Bengals, the Chiefs already clinched the AFC&#8217;s No. 1 seed. With no playoff ramifications,\u00a0Andy Reid\u00a0rested Kelce,\u00a0Patrick Mahomes, and other star players in a 38-0 loss to Denver. After the blowout, some fans felt Kansas City intentionally laid an egg to keep a burgeoning rival and more dangerous threat out of the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>However, Kelce insisted otherwise on his latest\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/newheightshow\/status\/1876997992810524855\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><em>New Heights<\/em>\u00a0podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I ain&#8217;t scared of f****** nobody,&#8221; Kelce declared. &#8220;I wanted them in the f******* playoffs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Had the Bengals made the playoffs as the AFC&#8217;s No. 7 seed, they would have faced the Chiefs in the AFC Divisional Round with a first-round victory. The Chiefs narrowly escaped Arrowhead with a 26-25 win over the Bengals in Week 2 after a penalty set up a last-second field goal.<\/p>\n<p>Along with not having to worry about Cincinnati, the top seed guarantees that Kansas City won&#8217;t play the\u00a0Buffalo Bills\u00a0or\u00a0Baltimore Ravens\u00a0until the AFC Championship Game. Yet Kelce urged the\u00a0NFL\u00a0not to bother re-seeding the bracket after the opening round so he can see the toughest competition possible.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\">\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\" data-zone-count=\"5\">\n<div class=\"not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d m-in-content-ad is-loaded\">\n<div id=\"ad-in_content-219d7cbb4de54fbdabd4e35052fc45a9\" data-google-query-id=\"CLfqncPb54oDFfJFwgUdCiUHGQ\" data-ad-size=\"300x250\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/88059007\/thespun.com\/nfl\/kansas-city-chiefs_6__container__\"><iframe id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/88059007\/thespun.com\/nfl\/kansas-city-chiefs_6\" tabindex=\"0\" title=\"3rd party ad content\" name=\"google_ads_iframe_\/88059007\/thespun.com\/nfl\/kansas-city-chiefs_6\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" aria-label=\"Advertisement\" data-load-complete=\"true\" data-google-container-id=\"7\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>&#8220;I want to slay every dragon one by one, like Mortal Kombat,&#8221; Kelce claimed. &#8220;I don&#8217;t even want this to be, we play the lowest seed.
