Kelce Discusses Super Bowl Loss
Later that night, Kelce opened up about the brutal loss to reporters in the locker room.
“[We] couldn’t get it going offensively,” he admitted. “I mean, they just got after us on all three phases and then on top of that, you know, turnovers, penalties, playing behind the sticks on offense.”
“We haven’t played that bad all year,” he continued. “You don’t lose like that without everything going bad.”
That being said, Kelce still praised his Chiefs teammates for “fighting until the end forever,” even when a win began to seem impossible, given the blowout score.
“Even with the score late, we were always gonna fight,” Kelce added. “We just couldn’t find that spark. We couldn’t find that momentum.”
