It’s finally Super Bowl week after an exhausting NFL season.
Opening Night on Monday saw players and staff from both sides interacting with the media as the celebrations got began.
The players from the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs landed in Las Vegas on Sunday night, where they will be hosting the Super Bowl for the first time, and they are both excited to play.
“Nowhere has a better show than Las Vegas,” remarked Travis Kelce, a star tight end with the Chiefs. “It resembles the global center of entertainment.”
Until this season, one of the biggest names in football was already Kelce, a two-time Super Bowl champion and nine-time Pro Bowl pick. Still,However, since it became public that he is dating music sensation Taylor Swift, he has experienced a meteoric rise in fame.
Swift made history on Sunday night at the Grammy Awards when she became the first performer to win the coveted album of the year four times. As a result, Kelce may now feel under pressure to continue the winning trend.
Kelce described Swift as “unbelievable; she’s rewriting the history books herself.”
“I informed her that I must fulfill my obligation and bring some hardware home as well.”Despite his great reputation throughout the league and among supporters, Kelce was not the most well-liked person in Vegas on Monday. 49ers fans in the hostile Allegiant Stadium crowd heckled him as he went on stage for an interview.But the 34-year-old seems happy enough to be an anti-hero.
“Baby, keep the boos coming, Niners Gang! I love them more than I love the shouts! “Keep ’em coming!” he exclaimed to the assembly.In addition, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who is gearing up for his fourth Super Bowl appearance, shrugged off hecklers.
Though they start Sunday’s game as the underdog against the 49ers, Mahomes and company are hoping to continue their Super Bowl romance, defend the championship they won against the Philadelphia Eagles last year, and capture their third Vince Lombardi Trophy in five years.
The two-time MVP told the media, “I think you approach it like any other game, I never feel like the underdog.” “We approach every football game with the mindset that we have a chance to win,” the player said. Since we were the underdogs in the previous Super Bowl, all you can do is keep the same attitude and just go out there, play football, and hope to win the triumph.
The odds were stacked against Kansas City to return to the Super Bowl after the team concluded the regular season with an 11-6 record—the lowest of the Mahomes era. But the Chiefs won consecutive AFC Championship Games, first over the Buffalo Bills on the road and then the Miami Dolphins in subfreezing weather, culminating in a victory over MVP favorite Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens.
