Travis Kelce lands in Pittsburgh with the Chiefs as NFL takes him away from Taylor Swift for Christmas Eve

It’s business as usual for Travis Kelce and his Kansas City Chiefs on Christmas Eve as the Super Bowl winners touched down in Pittsburgh for Wednesday’s game against the Steelers.

But spending Christmas Eve without girlfriend Taylor Swift didn’t seem to dampen his festive spirit as he stepped off the plane wearing a Santa hat.

This is the second year in a row the Chiefs have played on Christmas Day, but last year they had a home game in Kansas City that they lost to the Las Vegas Raiders.

A year after their last loss, the Chiefs are on the road this time looking for the one win needed to clinch the AFC’s top seed.

The Chiefs shared photos of the team landing in Pittsburgh on Tuesday afternoon, led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

The quarterback, wearing a sharp blue suit, had been dealing with a high ankle sprain in recent weeks but quickly marched down the stairs carrying two bags of luggage and showed no sign of any pain.

Kelce was not immediately pictured in the first set of photos showing players leaving the plane, but the tight end was not listed on an injury report or was considered questionable.

In fact, the 35-year-old has a chance to make Chiefs history on Christmas Day.

He is currently tied with Tony Gonzalez for the most touchdowns in Chiefs history with a total of 76. This means that one more TD means he holds the record in Kansas City.

Ahead of the Steelers game, Pittsburgh head coach Mike Tomlin paid tribute to Kelce in a year where he hasn’t reached the explosive heights of last campaign.

But Tomlin explained that the decline in Kelce’s stats shows how much unknown work he does for his team.

“He’s an incredibly unselfish player, I don’t think he gets enough credit for that,” Tomlin said.

‘Definitely a big playmaker… but really impressed with the unselfishness of his play.’
