Travis Kelce leads Chiefs locker room celebrations after reaching the Super Bowl as Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid deliver a rallying cry to their Kansas City team: ‘We ain’t done yet!’
Travis Kelce led the epic locker room celebrations for the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night after a historic performance took his team to the Super Bowl for another season.
Kelce scored an early touchdown in the 17-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens and overtook Jerry Rice for his 152nd postseason reception in the second quarter of the game – an all-time NFL record.
And after kissing girlfriend Taylor Swift on the field during the immediate post-game festivities, Kelce took the party into the Chiefs’ locker room.
The tight end could be seen posing for photos with his euphoric team as they partied in the locker room after being crowned AFC champions again.
Coach Andy Reid addressed the team and said, “Hey, in case you didn’t know, we’re going to the Super Bowl. We’re not done yet. But in the meantime, enjoy it.”

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes followed his coach to loud cheers and said, “Like I said, we’re not done yet. Let me hear it on three – one, two, three, CHIEFS!’.
Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones sat in the locker room after the game, puffing on a cigar. He secured a $1 million bonus by helping his team reach the Super Bowl.
Meanwhile, Justin Reid took a moment to take a photo next to Steve Spagnuolo, the Chiefs defensive coordinator who oversaw the master plan that restricted Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Reid also retweeted a tribute to Spagnuolo on X from former NFL player Ryan Clark, which read, “Steve Spagnuolo is the best big-game defensive coordinator of our time!! Greet him. He’s done it against the biggest, the best and the most dominant. He made them all look human, average and amateurish. He’s that guy. This defense was out!’
Reid and Jones walked around the locker room wearing “In Spags We Trust” t-shirts.
The man himself was humbled by the t-shirt and said: ‘I’m so proud of the players, I’m so happy.
‘I was humiliated and embarrassed (by the t-shirts) to be completely honest with you. But those guys had fun with it. Thank God we turned out okay in the end.”
Amid the festivities, the Detroit Lions played vs. San Francisco 49ers also on an iPad as they waited to find out who they would play in Vegas next month.

If all goes according to plan for the Chiefs, Sunday’s win will be just a footnote in their season’s success
Mahomes repeated his rallying cry at a media conference after Sunday’s win
And of course, if all goes well, Sunday’s celebrations will be just a footnote in the season as another Super Bowl looms.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes told his team the job isn’t done yet as he faced questions from the media during the festivities.
“It’s been a great year,” Mahomes said. “We’ve been underdogs the last few games. We never feel like an underdog.
“We have a lot of guys on this team who know how to win. When the playoffs come around, they’re here to make it happen. And now we’re in the Super Bowl. The job isn’t done yet.’
