Travis Kelce is getting brutally honest about the Kansas City Chiefs' disappointing season after officially being eliminated from playoff contention. Travis, 36, broke down his mindset heading into the final games of the season during the Wednesday, December 17, episode of his "New Heights" podcast, cohosted by Jason Kelce. "We got three games left ... the integrity of who you are as a professional, as a player, you gotta love this s***, man. And Chiefs Kingdom, we're gonna give you everything we got. There's no question about that," he told listeners. "There's only one way I do things, there's only one way Coach Reid does things, and if we're gonna go out there and play some football, we're gonna do it the right way and keep trying to get these things fixed and end on the highest note we can." Throughout the NFL season - Travis' 13th since being drafted in 2013 - questions arose about the tight end's performance on the field. After losing to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, December 14, the Chiefs were knocked out of the postseason for the first time in more than 10 years. Travis Kelce Refused to Talk to Reporters After Being Eliminated From Playoffs Travis previously declined to speak with media after the game, which was attended by his fiancée, Taylor Swift, and more family members. "Sorry guys, it's not the time," he told reporters in the locker room, per ESPN. "I'll catch you guys during the week." While recapping the game on Wednesday, Travis noted that losing out on the playoffs is "unfamiliar territory" for some teammates. Travis Kelce.

You know, it's obviously f***ed up, but it's a new feeling. So all I know is to go out there and play my ass off and to show up, and you know, give my guys the best chance to win. And I think that's the mentality," he said. "There's an integrity thing here that when you sign up for the gig, you're living out your dreams, you're living out a kid's dream that never got a chance to do this. You're playing this game, obviously to win Super Bowls. You're playing this game to be in those playoff scenarios and stuff, but at the end of the day, man, you're playing in the NFL. And that's a f***ing blessing. That's an honor." Travis continued, "It's an honor to be out there, it's an honor to feel the soreness after a game because you were actually out there. You're f***ing doing it. And no matter if you're getting the f***ing ball thrown to you, no matter if you're blocking your tail off ... it's an honor to be out there in a uniform, playing for the guys around you, playing for your family, playing for the people back home that are watching you, that have known you since you were a little kid dreaming about this moment." Jason Kelce Gets Honest About Brother Travis Kelce's Retirement Decision Jason, 38, pointed out that "no two years are the same" while playing in the NFL, from roster changes to league standings. Travis insisted he's still happy to be getting on the field, whatever the scenario. "I'll tell you what, man, if there's a game to be had, I'm gonna go out there and I'm gonna love f***ing playing in it, no matter if it's a game that's in the playoffs or gets us in the playoffs or a game that, you know, seems like it doesn't have any implications of that," he said. "That's the integrity you gotta go out there with." Not only did the Chiefs lose out on another shot at the Super Bowl, but quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffered a gruesome injury, later revealed to be a torn ACL. "Don't know why this had to happen. And not going to lie it's [sic] hurts. But all we can do now is Trust in God and attack every single day over and over again," he tweeted after the game on Sunday. "Thank you Chiefs kingdom for always supporting me and for everyone who has reached out and sent prayers." The Chiefs announced Monday, December 15, that the 30-year-old "successfully underwent surgery" and will begin the rehab process "immediately." Gardner Minshew is expected to take the field when the Chiefs play the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, December 21. "He's a warrior, man. I'm telling you," Travis said of Mahomes on Wednesday. "This guy's played through everything, battled through everything, has been crowned champion because he's battled through everything. And he's gonna battle through this, it's the only way this guy is wired. He's a fearless, fearless warrior when it comes to this football thing and he's gonna make sure that he comes back stronger than ever. Hopefully the Chiefs can get him back as soon as possible. ... I know he's gonna be doing everything he can to get back on the field for the Chiefs as soon as possible." Travis Kelce Reflects on 'Tough Reality' of Chiefs' Dwindling Playoff Odds Travis added that "it's never easy" seeing a teammate get hurt. "To see 1-5 go down like that, man ... it was almost like it wasn't real. S*** just
