Chiefs' Matt Nagy not ready for potential Travis Kelce retirement image

The Kansas City Chiefs will face the Denver Broncos on Christmas Day at Arrowhead Stadium, in what could be Travis Kelce's final home game of his career.

Spanning 13 years, 10 Pro Bowls, four All-Pros, and three Super Bowls, Kelce is one of, if not the best, tight end ever to grace the field.

And on Christmas Day, Chiefs Kingdom might be seeing No. 87 do his thing for the last time at home.

But offensive coordinator Matt Nagy isn't ready for this to be the end for Travis.

“What Travis has done to this organization, to his teammates, coaches, to this city, it's special,” Nagy said. “You hate to even hear that, I hope like hell that's not true. I just have so much respect. I've been fortunate enough selfishly to be with him for many years, and I've learned a lot from him.

"I know how much we love him as a city and as coaches. I just hope that's not true. I'd love to see him play more.”

Chiefs aiming to play role of spoiler

Kansas City would love nothing more than to ruin Denver's Christmas.

Quarterback Chris Oladokun stated that, and the Chiefs, who will be at home, have that chance.

Granted, nothing that has transpired over the last two weeks suggests Kansas City is capable of completing such a difficult task, but the potential last home game for Kelce, along with the chance to play spoiler, might have the Chiefs in some sort of mood.

Either way, there is nothing to play for but pride, and that can be a powerful motivator.

But so can spoiling your rivals' playoff seeding.
