They will clash at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday at 4:30 PM ET, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. The Chiefs are on a quest for a historic third consecutive Super Bowl victory, a feat never achieved in the NFL. Can they make history?
Head coach Andy Reid has made a significant move to bolster his team’s chances. He has appointed both Kelce and Mahomes as team captains for the playoffs. This decision reflects their leadership and experience, which Reid hopes will guide the Chiefs through the intense pressure of the postseason.
Kelce, 35, has emerged as a pivotal figure during the Chiefs’ impressive 15-2 regular season campaign. Despite a rocky start to the year, he has rallied to become a team leader. Meanwhile, Mahomes, at just 29, has consistently demonstrated his ability to perform in clutch situations. His experience in high-stakes games is invaluable as the team prepares for the playoffs.
Both players are no strangers to success, having each won three Super Bowls during their time with the Chiefs. Their combined experience and talent will be crucial as they aim to lead the team past the Division Round and into the AFC Championship game, where they could face either the Buffalo Bills or the Baltimore Ravens.
In addition to Kelce and Mahomes, Reid has named four other players as team captains for the playoffs. Defensive tackle Chris Jones, who is healthy and ready to go after an injury scare, linebacker Nick Bolton, kicker Harrison Butker, and long snapper James Winchester round out the leadership group. This diverse mix of talent and experience is designed to inspire confidence in the team as they embark on their playoff journey.
