Ahead of Sunday's crucial outing at Arrowhead, Kelce has opened up on the pressure he puts on himself to at least reach the AFC showpiece every season, which shocked older brother and Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason.

'Seven straight times you have been one of the top two teams in the AFC. Is it just expected that you're gonna go to the AFC Championship game?'. Travis replied: 'I put that on myself every single year. It's either that or I'm a failure.'. Travis Kelce considers himself a 'failure' if he doesn't reach the AFC title game every year.

Kelce made the claim during the latest episode of his and brother Jason's New Heights podcast. 'That's a hell of a way to live your life. It's working out so far,' Jason responded. 'I don't care if I'm the MVP or the league, which I'll never be or which I've never been up for,' Travis then added. 'But it doesn't matter what you do individually, it's about what your team does at the end of the day.'.
