What did Travis Kelce have to say about that? The Chiefs tight end addressed it on the latest New Heights with his brother, Jason: "I ain't scared of [expletive] nobody! I wanted them in the [expletive] playoffs. I want to slay every dragon one by one like Mortal Kombat."

There you have it. Plus, the Chiefs had to rest their starters given that they clinched the No. 1 seed!
