NFL: Super Bowl LIX-Kansas City Chiefs at Philadelphia Eagles – Source: Image
Super Bowl 59 has been one that the Kansas City Chiefs are going to want to forget soon as they were struggling from the jump against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Tight end Travis Kelce had a rough game and as the feeling crept in that their attempt of a comeback was going to fall short, emotions were shown.
The Fox Sports cameras caught Travis Kelce looking devastated from the bench in the fourth quarter of the game.
Many people were speculating if this was the final game that Travis Kelce would play in as he has set himself up for success once he decides to call it a career.
This year was statistically the worst that Kelce had and it will be interesting to see what his next step will be.

The Kansas City Chiefs fell short of winning their third straight Super Bowl and their fourth of this era. Kelce has shown flashes that the same dominant tight end is still able to make plays but those have been few and far between.
Kelce finished this season with 97 receptions on 133 targets for 823 yards (8.5 yards per catch) and three touchdowns.
Travis Kelce Makes History in Loss
Even though the Kansas City Chiefs were unable to win the Super Bowl, Travis Kelce was still able to break a record.
He has now surpassed Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice with 35 receptions.
Kelce now holds the record for the most receptions in the Super Bowl.
Kelce finished the game with four catches for 39 yards and certainly was not able to get to that level that we have become accustomed to with him in the biggest game of the year.
He now has 389 receiving yards in the Super Bowl, 178 receptions in the postseason, 2,078 receiving yards in the playoffs, and 20 receiving touchdowns.
All of these numbers are within the top five in NFL history. While the future of Travis Kelce in the National Football League is currently unknown, if he calls it a career, Kelce will go down as one of the greatest players ever.
