Travis Kelce Reacts to Chiefs-Bills Thanksgiving Showdown
The Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills have been must-watch TV for the past five years. Travis Kelce can't wait to do it again.
Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach and head coach Andy Reid have each revealed in recent weeks that Travis Kelce informed them the day after a 6-11 season from hell ended in January that he wanted to return next season. Kelce, 36, made it official by signing a new contract in March. And last week, the three-time Super Bowl champion and future Hall of Fame tight end learned the exact path the Chiefs will have to trace to restore their dynasty.
Travis and his older brother, the retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, reviewed the Chiefs’ 2026 season’s schedule on Wednesday’s episode of their “New Heights” podcast. Everyone circled the Chiefs’ Thanksgiving showdown with the Buffalo Bills as soon as it was announced last week, including Kelce. “Bills is Thanksgiving night, up there in Buffalo, in that beautiful new stadium they got,” Kelce said.
“That’ll be electric. Obviously, Pat Mahomes and Josh Allen is always an instant classic, so that will be a fun one on NBC. ” KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI – JANUARY 26: Tight end Travis Kelce #87 of the Kansas City Chiefs runs downfield during the second half of the AFC Championship game against the Buffalo Bills, at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on January 26, 2025 in Kansas City, Missouri.

Bills quarterback Josh Allen is 5-1 against Mahomes-led Chiefs teams in the regular season, but Mahomes and the Chiefs always get the last laugh, as Mahomes is 4-0 against Allen in the playoffs.
