They have won three\u00a0Super Bowls<\/a>\u00a0together in a historic run under head coach\u00a0Andy Reid<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The AFC West winners are going for a three-peat of rings, which would be a first in\u00a0NFL<\/a>\u00a0history.<\/p>\n

They must get past the\u00a0Buffalo Bills<\/a>\u00a0this weekend, which would send them to the showpiece in New Orleans.<\/p>\n

There has been rumors\u00a0Kelce<\/a>\u00a0will retire at the end of this season, with the\u00a0tight end suggesting the same<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

And\u00a0Mahomes<\/a>\u00a0has opened up on those fears to\u00a0The Drive with Carrington Harrison<\/a>\u00a0on 95.6 radio station.<\/p>\n

“If it’s his last game, let’s go out there and get him a win,” said Mahomes.<\/p>\n

“If it’s not his last game, let’s go out and win anyway.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

“Either way, I appreciate every single time I’ve stepped out onto that field with that guy.<\/p>\n

“Knowing that he’s a true legend of not only the Chiefs, the NFL.”<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Mahomes revealed Kelce had not given him any indication of a retirement yet.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

That is despite the pair being close, and in constant contact.<\/p>\n

“I mean, I have no idea,” continued Mahomes.<\/p>\n

“He hasn’t said anything to me if he’s thinking that.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

“I know he signed a two-year extension before the season.<\/p>\n

“He seems like he still loves football, but he also has a great life as well.”<\/p>\n

The 15-2 Chiefs take on the Bills on Sunday at 6.30pm ET at Arrowhead Stadium.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Mahomes and Kelce will be looking to continue their legendary combination once again.<\/p>\n

However,\u00a0Josh Allen<\/a>\u00a0and the Bills will be eyeing an end to their run, which could be Kelce’s last.<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old has a busy life outside of American football.<\/p>\n

He is dating pop sensation\u00a0Taylor Swift<\/a>, along with business ventures and a acting career.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The Hall of Fame-bound icon finished the regular season on 87 catches and 823 yards.<\/p>\n

He also caught three touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Kelce still has a year remaining on his two year contract following this campaign.<\/p>\n
