The Kansas City Chiefs failed to make history on Sunday night, losing 40-22 to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX and leaving 2024 as one big giant “what if?”<\/p>\n

Perhaps no player sums that question up more than legendary tight end Travis Kelce. Kelce is due to be a first-ballot entry into the Pro Football Hall of Fame one day, but the question surrounding him all season — and especially all Super Bowl week — is whether this Sunday was his swan song.<\/p>\n

The question has been so rampant that even star quarterback Patrick Mahomes weighed in on the topic following the worst loss of his career.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’ll let Travis make that decision on his own, man. He’s given so much to this team and to the NFL and been such a joy, not only for me to work with but for people to watch. He knows he still has a lot of football left in him,” Mahomes said after the game.<\/p>\n

“He’s done enough to be a gold jacket guy and a first-ballot Hall of Famer.”<\/p>\n
