Travis Kelce Sends Warning to Chiefs Coaches About Playing Time
The Kansas City Chiefs are ready to defend their Super Bowl title and aim to win their unprecedented third straight championship.
On Thursday, the Chiefs will host the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL Kickoff Game in Arrowhead Stadium.
This is a rematch of the last year's AFC Championship Game so the tension will be high. Tight end Travis Kelce is entering his 12th season in the NFL, but he has no plans of slowing down. The star pass catcher let the coaching staff know that before opening night.
Travis Kelce is ready to rock in Week One 🤘

Chiefs News: Travis Kelce Lets Coaching Staff Know He Won’t Take Step Back
When speaking with reporters on Tuesday, Kelce was asked if coaches spoke to him about managing his snap count in Week 1 and he quickly shut that down.
"No, and I probably wouldn't listen to them if they did."
-Â Travis Kelce
Although Kelce is 34 years old and has a lot of wear and tear on his body, he doesn't care to slow down and take a step back.
He's built an unstoppable connection with Patrick Mahomes and wants to start the season with a bang. The University of Cincinnati product doesn't care to do slow-play things until the postseason.
In his career, Kelce has snagged 907 receptions (1,267 targets) for 11,328 receiving yards, and 74 touchdowns.
Also, the nine-time Pro Bowl selection didn't suit up in last year's opener against the Detroit Lions due to a bone bruise in his knee.
He doesn't take these moments for granted and will make sure he's out there on Thursday for his guys.
