Patrick Mahomes Jokes He’s ‘Watching His Weight’ as Travis Kelce Takes a Big Bite of Cake to Celebrate Chiefs’ Christmas Win

On Dec. 25, after the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 29-10 and clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC, Mahomes, 29, and Kelce, 35, returned to the field to join senior NFL reporter Stacey Dales. They were surprised by Netflix with footballs made of cake. After struggling to open his football, Kelce cracked his open.

“Oh yeah, look at that,” the tight end says, holding up the cake, which was captured in a video and posted on X by the team. “A little red velvet.”

While Kelce proceeded to take a bite of the cake, his quarterback decided not to give it a taste.

“I’m watching my weight until playoffs, you know?” the quarterback says, laughing.

“More push-aways than pull-ins, that’s what Coach [Andy] Reid would say,” Kelce chimes in, as he continues to eat the cake.

As the three continue chatting, Dales asks Kelce how the cake tastes.

“Very red velvety,” Kelce replies. “It’s very spot on. It’s good. I’m gonna take this into the locker room and get some victory cake.”

Mahomes, however, had different plans for his cake. “Coach Reid’s ready for it, I’ll be taking it to him,” he says.
