It’s rare to see Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce take the shot he did in Sunday’s loss to the Buffalo Bills.
Kelce was in the back of the end zone trying to catch a pass from Patrick Mahomes before halftime when Bills defensive back Cole Bishop hit the veteran high. Kelce took a moment to regain his feet and carefully walked off the field.

He went to the locker room with just a few seconds left on the clock before the end of the second quarter and was also seen giving back some trash talk to Bills fans.
On Wednesday’s episode of “New Heights,” he explained what frustrated him most about the ordeal.
“It knocked the wind out of me. It caught me — I got kind of squashed in there. You know you’re okay, but you just kind of have to …” Kelce said while pretending to catch his breath.
He seemed troubled by what came next.

“‘Go into the blue tent. You got the wind knocked out,'” he said, recalling what an official told him to do. “Why do I walk into… No, it was at halftime. I had to be evaluated in the locker room. I just said, ‘Why, what is this?’
“What day is it?” F—ing Sunday,” he continued. “What? … Before a concussion or after a concussion, I don’t know who we played last week. We are in week 9. Are you making me? You make me sit here and f—ing… Who did we play last? The commanders.”
Kelce gave props to the Bills fans for talking trash. He said it was an “honor” to still have the opportunity to play at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York.
The Chiefs are 5-4 this season and are on the outside looking into the playoff field starting in Week 10. Kelce leads all tight ends with 540 receiving yards. He has 41 catches on 53 targets and three touchdowns.
