Travis Kelce has been spotted in an animal print tracksuit ahead of his must-see game against the Kansas City Chiefs on New Year's Eve against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The NFL star ironically wore tiger stripes for Sunday's big game in Kansas City, where Kelce is under increasing pressure to lead his team back to victory after their Christmas Day loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.
He was pictured leaving his $6 million home in Kansas City early Sunday morning as he prepares for one of the big games of the day in the NFL.
His girlfriend Taylor Swift is expected to return to Arrowhead Stadium to cheer him on along with his mother, Donna, who flew to Kansas City on Friday evening to be with the couple for the holidays.
Tight end Kelce is also closing in on an incredible NFL record of his own today — he's just 32 yards shy of his eighth straight 1,000-yard season. No other tight end in NFL history has had more than two consecutive seasons of 1,000 yards or more.

But Kelce and the Chiefs were defeated by the Raiders on Christmas Day, and Kelce's temper got the better of him during the loss.
He was filmed throwing his helmet to the ground in anger at how a play had unfolded before his coach, Andy Reid, appeared to push against him in an attempt to calm him down.
The loss was the fifth in eight games for the Chiefs, an alarming dip in form for last season's Super Bowl winners.
And the 34-year-old was still seething over the Raiders loss as he recorded his weekly episode of his New Heights podcast with his brother Jason.
“We literally played Santa and gave them a present,” Kelce said.
'That was embarrassing. Everyone in the building knows how embarrassing that was. We have a short week, so we'll forget about this shit real quick.
'It's a damn frustrating experience at the moment and every day we try to solve it. I promise you.
'It's not just one. I'm not just playing dog s***… we played such a bad offense that we put the defense in a really tough spot at the end of the game. It's frustrating when you have the guys you need and things don't go your way.”

Kelce has reportedly made big plans for the offseason, when Swift is on tour in Europe
Off the field, Swift and Kelce spent the holidays together with the singer, enjoying some downtime from what had otherwise been a brutal touring schedule.
And earlier this week it was reported that Kelce has big plans for her as she tours the rest of the world in 2024 with her hugely successful Eras Tour.
Kelce has reportedly booked trips to Italian vineyards and tables at some of Europe's best restaurants for her tour of the continent next summer.
But before that happens, Kelce will hope he still has a lot of football left to play.
After the Bengals game, Kelce and the Chiefs wrap up the regular season in Los Angeles against the Chargers.
The play-offs will then start from January 13 and the Super Bowl will be in Las Vegas on February 11.
