AceShowbiz - On Wednesday, December 25, the Kansas City Chiefs secured the No. 1 seed in the AFC with a commanding 29-10 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Star tight end Travis Kelce and quarterback Patrick Mahomes made headlines not only for their performance on the field but also for their stylish celebration afterward.
Rocking sleek, shiny red jackets trimmed with white fur, the dynamic duo stormed the locker room in high spirits. Kelce, 35, exuberantly pumped his fist and flapped his jacket, creating a contagious energy that was captured on video and posted to the team's social media accounts. "HO HO HO(w) 'bout those CHIEEEEEEEFS!!" the team wrote on Instagram, encapsulating the festive spirit of the day.
Their joyous celebration took an amusing twist when head coach Andy Reid surprised the team by entering the locker room dressed as Santa Claus, complete with a full outfit and beard. Reid greeted his players with a jolly "Hey, Merry Christmas," and congratulated them, offering home-field advantage as the ultimate holiday gift. "Santa Reid giving the best gift of all," the NFL captioned the moment on X, sharing the heartwarming scene with fans.
But the celebrations didn't stop there. Before heading to the locker room, Kelce and Mahomes had a delightful encounter on the field with senior NFL reporter Stacey Dales. They were presented with footballs made of cake on behalf of Netflix. The light-hearted moment saw Kelce struggling to open his cake football before finally succeeding. "Oh yeah, look at that," he exclaimed, holding up the red velvet treat as he took a bite. Mahomes, however, opted to forgo the taste test, joking, "I'm watching my weight until playoffs, you know?"
Kelce and Mahomes shared a laugh about maintaining their athletic discipline, with Kelce adding, "More push-aways than pull-ins, that's what Coach [Andy] Reid would say," as he continued enjoying his cake.
Beyond the celebrations, the game marked another milestone for Kelce, who caught his 90th touchdown pass of the season. This impressive feat places him among the NFL's elite, joining wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald with at least seven seasons of 90 or more TD receptions.
With one more regular-season game ahead against the Denver Broncos, the Chiefs are gearing up for what promises to be an exciting playoff run. Their dominant performance, combined with the festive locker-room antics, has certainly set the stage for an unforgettable postseason.
