The Kansas City Chiefs tight end and his team have lost their first two games of the season, most recently in a Super Bowl rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, Sept. 14.
When the time came for the football podcasters to rehash the game, Travis jokingly said, “My day was going great. I forgot about this game. Put it in the past,” before getting into the ways in which he can improve his game.
“Gotta catch the ball. Gotta catch the ball,” he said. “We give ourselves a chance. Right now, we’re just not executing to the degree that we hold ourselves accountable to.”

He added, “I gotta be there for my guys, man, knowing that, they put a lot on my plate to, you know, be a good player for this team, and I need to f—— answer that bell, man.”
As for his attitude heading into the Chiefs’ next game, Travis said, “It’s all about just keep coming to work every single day and getting it right.”
The Chiefs will next take on the New York Giants on Sept. 21 at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
Swift was in attendance at the team’s first home game on Sunday at the Arrowhead Stadium.
In terms of his wedding plans with his pop superstar fiancée, Travis has kept the details close to his chest, though he did share when asked about music for the reception: “We’re live music kind of people.”

Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce
The athlete and the pop star shared the news of their engagement at the end of August after two years of dating. However, their wedding will likely be a bit different.
“It will definitely be a private affair and not a spectacle,” a source recently told PEOPLE. “They both have a close circle of friends, and they’ll respect their privacy.”
Travis and Swift announced their engagement on Aug. 26, sharing the news in a joint Instagram post with the caption, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨.”
The post was also set to Swift’s track, “So High School,” which is seemingly about her romance with the football player.
