Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs are gearing up for their quest to achieve a historic Super Bowl three-peat as they prepare to host the Houston Texans in the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs.
After clinching the AFC’s No. 1 seed in Week 17, the Chiefs opted to rest their starters, including star players Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, during Week 18. This decision, combined with a bye week in the wild-card round, allowed the team to recharge and prepare for their playoff opener.
Travis Kelce’s Playoff Hype Post
Ahead of their highly anticipated matchup, Kelce, a former standout player for the Cincinnati Bearcats, shared an exciting post to energize fans for the playoff run. His post featured a hype video with clips of himself set to the popular song “Jump Around” by House of Pain. The caption read, “️We’re talking PLAYOFFS BABY!!!”
Erin Andrews’ Reaction
Fox Sports sideline reporter Erin Andrews, known for her insightful coverage of NFL games, reacted enthusiastically to Kelce’s post by responding with a “” emoji. Andrews had recently covered the wild-card game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers and is no stranger to Kelce’s on-field charisma and talent.
On a 2024 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Andrews, joined by Charissa Thompson, shared her admiration for Kelce, describing him as a lively and fun personality. “Yeah, well, obviously, we’ve covered him,” Andrews said during the interview. “And we’re friends with him. And how could you not be? The guy’s a time, right? I’ve seen you guys on a golf course and everything. He’s a time.”

In addition to her broadcasting career, Andrews runs her own sports apparel company, WEAR by Erin Andrews. The brand has gained significant attention, especially when Taylor Swift, who is dating Kelce, wore one of Andrews’ custom jackets to a Chiefs game. Andrews expressed her gratitude on Instagram, writing, “@TaylorSwift in #WEARbyEA! I’m crying happy tears! Thank you!”
