Travis Kelce and his brother Jason addressed accusations of cheating against the Kansas City Chiefs during their recent playoff game against the Houston Texans on the 'New Heights' podcast. The controversy was sparked by claims that referee decisions, particularly penalties concerning quarterback Patrick Mahomes, favored the Chiefs. Critiques included a notable comment from rapper Lil Wayne, who vehemently expressed his disdain for what he perceived as cheating. Jason Kelce highlighted social media commentary, including a post from Khalen Saunders, who acknowledged questionable officiating yet noted that the Texans were also at fault, allowing the Chiefs to exploit their defensive gaps.
Travis humorously agreed with Saunders, admitting the Texans left him open on several plays. He chose not to comment specifically on the controversial calls, opting to 'plead the fifth.' The Chiefs won the game, securing a spot in the AFC Championship against the Buffalo Bills, aiming for their third consecutive Super Bowl victory.
