The Kansas City Chiefs are gearing up for their Week 12 contest against the Carolina Panthers, and they will be looking to put together a bounce back performance after suffering their first loss of the season against the Buffalo Bills in Week 11. With that in mind, all eyes will be on star tight end Travis Kelce.
While the Chiefs didn’t play well enough as a whole to come out on top against the Bills, Kelce didn’t exactly enjoy a productive day at the office. In fact, he hauled in just two catches for eight yards, making it one of the worst games of his highly prolific career.
Kelce has a great chance to get back on track against the lowly Panthers, and he’s been putting in the work during practice throughout the week in an effort to right the ship. However, he surprised fans by wearing shorts and a short sleeve t-shirt to the team’s practice on Friday, even though the temperature was only 42 degrees.
“The cold never bothered me anyway.” – Travis Kelce, probably.

Winter is rolling in quickly, and with temperatures dropping across the country, many folks are switching to long sleeve shirts and pants to combat the cold. Kelce doesn’t seem to be too bothered by it, though, as he is still dressed like it’s summer, while the majority of his teammates coaches are bundled up.
Temperatures will soon be hitting lows that make 42 degrees look scorching hot in Kansas City, but it’s not exactly the type of weather you’d be wearing shorts and a t-shirt for, especially if you are working outside all day at practice like Kelce is.
Playing in cold games is simply a part of the job in the NFL, especially for a team like the Chiefs. So in a way, Kelce may simply be trying to get himself ready for the upcoming cold front that is set to arrive with winter, or he may not believe 42 degrees to be all that cold.
Regardless, it’s great to see Kelce is locked in on his preparation for Kansas City’s next game, especially considering how poorly things went against Buffalo. Kickoff for their contest against the Panthers is set for 1 P.M. EST on Sunday, Nov. 24th.
