Travis Kelce Wastes No Time to Hit Patrick Mahomes Back After Chiefs QB’s Public Remark

The Kansas City Chiefs’ season opener in Brazil comes with an 11‑hour flight from Kansas City to São Paulo. Coaches made the early move to get players adjusted ahead of Friday’s matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers. Patrick Mahomes understood the toll. Travis Kelce didn’t. 

Kelce, who spent time in Brazil last year while following now‑fiancée Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, admitted he underestimated the distance. That gave Mahomes the opening. The quarterback openly joked that some teammates didn’t realize the length of the trip. “The trainers and coaches have really done the research, and they understand what we need to do, so now it’s just going down there and playing football,” Mahomes said. 

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce busted out the Kermit voice on Patrick Mahomes during their presser in Brazil: “He had it coming after he told everyone I didn’t know where to find Brazil on the map.”

“I think more than anything it’s just explaining to some guys how far the trip was. Some guys didn’t understand how far the travel was. Travis, even though he was just down there last year, I was explaining to him how the globe works,” Mahomes added. Kelce didn’t wait long to answer back. During the Chiefs’ press stop in Brazil, he turned Mahomes into the punchline. Using his best “Kermit” impression, Kelce fired off, “He had it coming after he told everyone I didn’t know where to find Brazil on the map.”
