It's why the past 11 NFL MVP winners have been quarterbacks. However, every signal-caller -- even MVP winners -- need help from others to lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy as Super Bowl champions at the end of the season.

Teammates choose the captains, and the Chiefs announced that quarterback Patrick Mahomes, tight end Travis Kelce, defensive lineman Chris Jones, linebacker Nick Bolton, kicker Harrison Butker and long snapper James Winchester will be captains for the playoffs.

In beating the Buffalo Bills to claim their third straight AFC championship, however, the Chiefs hardly called upon one of their biggest names Sunday, with star tight end Travis Kelce logging just two catches for 19 yards in the 32-29 victory.

After the game, Kelce spoke to the fans at Arrowhead Stadium during the trophy ceremony. The former Cincinnati Bearcats tight end had a message for the crowd before breaking out into song, opting for "Get Down Tonight" by the KC and the Sunshine Band.

Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are heading to their fifth Super Bowl together after the Kansas City Chiefs defeated Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills 32-29 in the AFC Championship Game. The Chiefs were up by as much as 11 points before the Bills came back to take a 22-21 lead late in the third quarter.

Ever since Taylor Swift started dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in 2023, she’s been a fixture at his football games. “Football is awesome, it turns out,” Swift told TIME in a 2023 profile.

When the Bills and Chiefs meet in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday, there likely won’t be anyone getting caught off-guard. That’s because of the sheer volume of games they have played against each other with Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes as the starting quarterbacks.

As a result, the Chiefs absolutely need defensive tackle Chris Jones to have a huge day on Sunday in order to get a win. Jones getting pressure from both the interior and on the outside will be very important in creating some of the negative plays that can put the Bills behind the chains and stall some of their drives.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce gave his friend, Beau Allen, a talking to before meeting Taylor Swift.

According to Billboard, the football players came on to the stage at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., when Morgan Wallen was performing during his tour.
