  • “It’s fun to go to work when it’s the biggest game. Don’t try to make it more serious or make it more than it is – it’s still football. We came here because we showed our personalities and we are who we are and we did that while putting in the work.” – Travis Kelce on his participation in Super Bowl LVIII
  • “I became aware that she was at the game this week; (Travis Kelce) said she was thinking about coming and being at the game… He’s a fun-loving guy who loves to go out and have fun. So it didn’t surprise anybody on the team; people acted like it was a distraction, and I said, ‘No, that’s just Travis, that’s how he always is.'” – Patrick Mahomes on Taylor Swift attending the Chiefs’ Week 3 game against the Chicago Bears
  • They’ve played a lot of snaps together, but there’s a certain chemistry that I’ve seen over the years when you get a quarterback and a player like him, where they just connect. It’s hard to explain other than there’s this confidence that I know this guy is going to be where I want him or need him, no matter what chaotic situation you get into during those quick five seconds of a game.” – Andy Reid on Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce
  • “I told Las Vegas Raiders coach Antonio Pierce, ‘I appreciate you kicking our butts because it kind of woke us up.. Sometimes you need a kick in the butt to find out.” – Andy Reid on the loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Christmas Day
  • “We don’t think our defensive coordinator is talked about as much as he should be… The most dominant player is the Spags.” – Chris Jones on Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo
  • “They scored a goal through a trick. That’s their best football. If they have to give us that and score with it, they won’t be able to do it for four quarters.” – Chris Jones on the 0-10 deficit in Super Bowl LVIII against the San Francisco 49ers
  • “If the momentum develops in our favor, I want them to make the plays quickly. It’s kind of like when a basketball team is on a run and the other team has to call a timeout. You want to put pressure on them.” – Patrick Mahomes
  • “There’s a certain sense of urgency and focus that I feel good about. I love that feeling that we have to have it now.” – Travis Kelce
