Travis Kelce is preparing for a significant challenge as the Kansas City Chiefs face off against the Denver Broncos. He has made the team”s approach clear as they aim to secure a victory. With the Broncos boasting an impressive 8-2 record, Kelce believes the Chiefs must come out strong and maintain their intensity throughout the game.
In a recent episode of New Heights, Kelce discussed the team”s game plan for their upcoming matchup against the Broncos, who are currently leading the league with their record. He highlighted the importance of starting quickly and finishing even stronger if they want to take down their rivals. Despite the Broncos” solid performance this season, skepticism remains among some fans and analysts due to Denver”s tendency to start games slowly. The Broncos have only scored first once in their ten games, yet they continue to find ways to win.
When his brother, Jason Kelce, jokingly suggested spotting the Broncos seven points, Travis swiftly dismissed the idea. “That”s not how that works,” he stated, reinforcing his belief that the Chiefs need to seize control from the start. “I think we”re going to try and start fast and finish even faster. I think that”s going to be the key to the game right there,” he added.
Kelce”s comments reflect the Broncos” unusual pattern of success. Although they often struggle in the early parts of games, they excel in the final quarter, ranking third in the NFL with 96 points scored in the fourth quarter. Their quarterback, Bo Nix, has shown resilience, particularly as the Broncos” defense has improved significantly over the last two weeks.
Furthermore, Kelce pointed out how well-rounded the Broncos have become under the leadership of coach Sean Payton. “I think right now the Broncos are playing so well together. They”re playing complementary football. They might not have a lot of games where they”re scoring a lot of points, but they”re playing great defense. And then in those big moments, their offense keeps finding ways to win football games,” he remarked.
As both teams prepare for this crucial AFC matchup, Kelce”s message is evident: the Chiefs cannot afford to take a backseat in this contest.
