Travis Kelce has finally had enough and is demanding answers.

The Kansas City Chiefs superstar tight end was given an opportunity during Super Bowl 2025 Opening Night to ask reporters about refs.

Kelce made it clear Monday on Super Bowl Opening Night that he is aware of the existing narrative regarding the Chiefs receiving favorable treatment from referees.

A child reporter asked Travis Kelce what he would ask the media if he could ask one question.

“Why are you guys leaning into this whole ref thing? You know what I mean, why are you guys leaning into it? That’s all I got, though,” he said from his podium.

 

The Chiefs have been accused of receiving favorable calls from refs every step of the way in the playoffs.

First, there were several calls while playing against the Houston Texans in the divisional round, and then there were calls against the Buffalo Bills in the AFC title game.

Two questionable roughing the passer calls were made against the Texans while the Bills seeingly got railroaded on a fourth-and-1 play where Bills quarterback Josh Allen attempted to sneak for a first down, but he was called short.

In the meantime, Travis Kelce and the Chiefs are seeking to become the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowls.

Travis Kelce Addresses Retirement Plans During Super Bowl Week

Kansas City Chiefs superstar tight end Travis Kelce finally addressed the rumors surrounding his alleged retirement following Super Bowl 59.

The 35-year-old’s future plans have been discussed for weeks, thanks to his relationship with pop star Taylor Swift.

Kelce was asked about his future plans at opening night festivities.

“Hopefully still playing football,” he said. “I love doing this, I love coming into work every day. I feel like I still have a lot of good football left in me. We’ll see what happens. I know I’ve been setting myself up for other opportunities in my life. That’s always been the goal, knowing football only lasts for so long. You have to find a way to get into another career and another profession. I’ve been doing that in my offseason. But for the most part, I plan on being a Kansas City Chief and playing football.”
