Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs will be among the select NFL teams playing on Thanksgiving this season. The Chiefs are set to face the Dallas Cowboys on the festive occasion, and Kelce expressed his excitement about the matchup.
In an episode of his “New Heights” podcast on Tuesday, Kelce shared his thoughts on the NFL scheduling the Chiefs vs. Cowboys game on Thanksgiving. “This is my first time playing on it, man,” Kelce said (1:01:03). “I’ve always, like, dreamed about playing on it, because, obviously, started out playing in the backyard and just screwing around. Always had the turkey bowl around where we were with friends and families. And I’ve always loved football and Thanksgiving.”
He added, “Like, that’s like, those two go together like f*cking peanut butter and jelly, man. So I’m excited to play. We’re in Dallas, so I’ll hold it down for the birds fans out there and get after the Cowboys, man. But yeah, dude, I’m excited to do it, and hopefully I’m eating turkey on the field afterwards.”
The last time the Chiefs played on Thanksgiving was in 2006. Kelce has been with the Chiefs since they drafted him in the third round in 2013. He is widely regarded as one of the best tight ends the franchise has ever had. Over his career, Kelce has helped the Chiefs reach five Super Bowls, winning three of them.
This Thanksgiving Day game on November 27 will be another historic moment for Kelce, who has the chance to add another feather to his cap against the Cowboys.
