Patrick Mahomes<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Travis Kelce<\/a>\u00a0have been one of the best duos in the\u00a0NFL<\/a>\u00a0for many years now. The two have made numerous Pro Bowls while bringing the\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>\u00a0three Super Bowls.<\/p>\n

Now, they are chasing their fourth championship and the first-ever three-peat in NFL history. The Chiefs have one more obstacle to get to the big game as\u00a0Josh Allen<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Buffalo Bills<\/a> come into town for the AFC Championship Game.<\/p>\n

Amid a 15-2 regular season and another deep playoff run, a big question remains: Will Kelce retire at the end of this season?<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old had a down year statistically, at least to Kelce’s standards. He finished with 87 catches for 823 yards and three touchdowns. Maybe it’s the way other teams guard him; perhaps it’s his age. But Kelce has been contemplating retirement throughout the season, with his\u00a0most recent mention\u00a0<\/a>of it coming last week.<\/p>\n
