The Kansas City Chiefs and tight end Travis Kelce have started another strong season with the hope of earning back-to-back Super Bowl titles. After entering the season with a disappointing loss against the Detroit Lions, the team bounced back like ever before and won consecutive matches until week 8.
The Chiefs witnessed their second defeat of the season in week 8 against the Denver Broncos. However, Kelce’s performance in these games never fell short of expectations. Besides his on-field performance, the TE also made headlines several times for his lucrative NFL contracts, endorsement deals, and investments.
