Travis Kelce has lifted the lid on the Kansas City Chiefs' travel nightmare that affected the team before and after their 38-0 loss to the Denver Broncos last week. The chaos began on Saturday when the reigning Super Bowl champions eventually flew out of Kansas City four hours behind schedule after a brutal winter storm left the team's plane stranded on the runway.

According to Fox4 News, the Chiefs were originally due to leave for Denver around 2:45pm on Saturday. But it wasn't until around 6:30pm ET when they finally set off. The storm led to 'rapid ice accumulation' and forced the authorities to close the airfield at Kansas City International Airport - before the Chiefs could leave.

Then, after a team of backups was thrashed by the Broncos, they had to stay in Denver on Sunday night. As a blizzard swept through the Midwest, Kansas City's airport was locked down, preventing the Chiefs from making the return trip until Monday. Travis Kelce has lifted the lid on the Kansas City Chiefs' travel nightmare to and from Denver.
Kelce, Mahomes and their Chiefs teammates were delayed flying out and had to stay overnight. Travis was asked about the nightmare during this week's episode of New Heights and revealed he had no idea they were delayed in Kansas City on the outbound flight because he fell asleep immediately after boarding.
He told brother Jason: 'Dude, when I get on these planes I eat my Chick-fil-A and I f***ing recline my seat, put on my headphones and I'm out. 'I could sleep through a f***ing rock concert. It doesn't matter where I'm at. I don't know how I got this trait but I have the ability to just sleep anywhere, anytime. As long as I'm comfortable I can just shut it down.
