Ruling on the field stands: this exchange is very sweet.
After the Kansas City Chiefs were defeated by Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles in the Feb. 9 Super Bowl, the team’s tight end Travis Kelce—whose girlfriend Taylor Swift was in the stands as his team fell to the Birds 40-22—and quarterback Patrick Mahomes shared a touching moment.
Following the game, Patrick made his rounds, as seen in a video posted to X Feb. 13, reassuring his teammates, “we’ll be back” and “we’re going to do it again.”
When the Texas-native approached Travis, the two embraced with a pound hug, as Patrick commented, “I love you brother.”
To which Travis reciprocated the love.
“I love you, dawg,” the 35-year-old responded, holding Patrick close. “You know that. I owe you a lot.”
And while they didn’t quite secure the historic three-peat they had hoped for during the big game, the two have found victory in each other’s friendship in the years since Patrick was drafted by the chiefs in 2017. And for the 29-year-old, getting to play alongside Travis—who was drafted to the team four seasons prior—was an exciting prospect.
