Patrick Mahomes said that “a lot of other plays decided the outcome” regarding the Kansas City Chiefs' controversial win over the Houston Texans. Colin Cowherd and Tom Brady discuss management, the Chiefs and whether there are any issues.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes answered questions about the tight end Travis Kelce will likely retire after this season during an interview Tuesday on 96.5 The Fan.
Mahomes claimed He has not had any discussions about whether the team intends to retire the tight end, but he acknowledged that if he does, Mahomes wants the team to field him at a high level.
“I have no idea. He didn't tell me anything if he was thinking that,” Mahomes said, later adding: “If this isn't his last game, let's go out there and get him a win. If this isn't his last game.” Let's go out and get him the win anyway.”
Mahomes also pointed out the fact that Kelce is currently under contract through the end of next season, but the tight end also has a lifestyle he may enjoy in retirement.

“I know he signed a two-year extension before the season. It seems like he still loves football. But he also has a great life,” Mahomes said.
Kelce signed a $34.25 million contract in April, after some speculation that the 2023 season would be his last.
Kelce has been Mahomes' favorite target since the quarterback took over as a full-time starter in 2018. The duo has won three Super Bowls together and is currently on a mission to win a fourth and become the first team in NFL history to win three in a row.
Mahomes and Kelce have also helped make the Chiefs one of the most popular franchises in all of sports in recent years, as Kelce's relationship with Taylor Swift has increased the team's fan base by large margins among women.
“Either way, I appreciate every time I step on the field with this guy and I know he's a true legend not only for the Chiefs, but for the NFL,” Mahomes said.

Kelce himself spoke about the possibility of retiring after this season during an interview on the channel “Presentation by Stephen A. Smith“It is January 15th.
“I love everything I do in this building, but at the end of the day, I don't have as much success on the field as I did individually,” Kelce said.
“I'll reevaluate it like I always do, and I'll probably tell myself how much I love this thing, and I'll be back next year. I still love coming into the building every day. Does it get tough? Yes, but I'm not doing it for the stats, I'm doing it for the greatness,” he said. And the legacy that we've created here in Kansas City, I can't fathom what it would be like to just be able to say I'm satisfied because I'm still hungry to go and get something right now.”
After the Chiefs' latest playoff win against the Houston Texans last Saturday, Kelce sent a cryptic message on social media that sparked further speculation that the end of his career was near.
