Kansas City Chiefs superstar tight end Travis 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.
When a child reporter asked Kelce what he would ask the media if he could ask one question, Kelce replied: "Why are you guys leaning into this whole ref thing? You know what I mean? Like, why are you guys leaning into it."
Kelce and the Chiefs are seeking to become the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowls, but their Super Bowl run has not come without controversy, as they were the beneficiaries of some close calls in both the AFC Divisional Round against the Houston Texans and AFC Championship Game against the Buffalo Bills.
