KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs know they will be playing out the final three games of the season without Patrick Mahomes, who will soon undergo surgery to repair the torn left ACL that he sustained in a loss to the Los Angeles Chargers that eliminated them from playoff contention. That much is clear.

Travis Kelce reportedly contemplated retirement after the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles last season. He decided to return for his 13th season in the NFL, but with the Chiefs missing the playoffs for the first time in 11 years, Kelce may look to hang up his jersey.

Patrick Mahomes’ torn ACL caps a late-season collapse, ends Kansas City’s playoff hopes, and throws the Chiefs’ immediate future into uncertainty as roster turnover, cap pressure, and potential retirements loom.

A controversial fourth-quarter ejection drew NFL attention, and Jim Harbaugh didn’t hesitate to address it after the Chargers’ win.

While Kelce and Mahomes built one of the best one-two punches in league history, the Chiefs tight end seems to be in the latter end of his NFL career. In a recent interview, NFL legend Chris Carter went as far as urging Travis Kelce to retire and even predicted that this will be the final season for the Chiefs star.

Taylor Swift was spotted at Sunday night’s Kansas City Chiefs home game against the Los Angeles Chargers at Arrowhead Stadium, supporting her fiancé, NFL tight end Travis Kelce and keeping warm in a chic collarless coat.

The Kansas City Chiefs face the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday without three starting offensive linemen and wide receiver Marquise Brown.

The Los Angeles Chargers will be facing frigid temperatures in Kansas City. They have adjusted schedules and made preparations for weather and travel.
