Travis Kelce Has Classy Admission About Bills QB Josh Allen
01/24/2025 04:33 PM
For the fourth time in the past five years, the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs will square off in the postseason. On Sunday night, Josh Allen and Travis Kelce will try to lead their respective teams to the Super Bowl.
Allen is still searching for his first Super Bowl appearance. In 12 career playoff games, he has thrown for 3,122 yards with 23 touchdowns and four interceptions. Despite his lack of team success against the Chiefs, he always rises up to the occasion.
Kelce, on the other hand, has already accomplished it all in the playoffs. The three-time Super Bowl champion holds postseason records for career receptions, most games with 100 receiving yards and most receiving touchdowns by a tight end. At this point, he's just creating more separation between him and the rest of the pack.
During this week's AFC Championship media availability, Kelce was asked about Allen and what he brings to the table. Although they're technically rivals, the All-Pro tight end had nothing but kind things to say about Buffalo's quarterback.
In fact, Kelce said he "used to dream" of playing quarterback just like Allen does.
"Josh is who I used to dream of being like in the NFL," Kelce said. "Big, athletic quarterback. Big arm. Being able to be a dual-threat guy."
Kelce didn't just rave about Allen's physical tools, he praised his rival's leadership skills.
"His ability to do everything — you can tell, he really took the bull by the horns and been their leader up front, and channeled that. Guys come in and out of the building and he's the main guy that makes them go, and I have a lot of respect for that guy."
Allen has not responded to Kelce, but we'd have to imagine that he appreciates the kind words.
Despite having their number in the regular season, Allen has never won a playoff game against the Chiefs. He owns an 0-3 record against Kansas City in the postseason.
We'll see if Allen can finally get the job done this Sunday night. The AFC Championship will be on CBS.
