Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Patriots coach Bill Belichick shared a special moment on the field following Kansas City’s 27–17 win over New England in Week 15.
Postgame handshakes aren’t often notable unless a conversation appears to be more than simply exchanging pleasantries. That applied to Kelce and Belichick, who spoke to one another for longer than a “congratulations” or “good game” would take. That naturally sparked curiosity regarding what the two said to each other.
On the latest episode of his New Heights podcast, Kelce revealed what he said to the legendary Patriots coach, whom many expect to move on from New England after this season. Much of the sentiment echoed what he told reporters following last Sunday’s game. Kelce was paying respect.
