The 35-year-old also recently acknowledged that his past two seasons have not gone according to plan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWin a Super Bowl is the only goal,\u201d Kelce told Sean Manning of GQ Sports. \u201cIt\u2019s the only goal. It\u2019s every goal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been nearly four months since that defeat, and Kelce is still hard on himself about it,\u201d Manning wrote.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Travis-Kelce23-e1669041332748.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all&amp;w=780\" alt=\"Travis Kelce Shares 'Funny Thing' About Beating Chargers\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it might have slipped a little bit because I did have a little bit more focus in trying to set myself up.

Across 16 regular season games, the Ohio native made 97 receptions and totaled 823 yards.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_1999,h_1124,x_0,y_0\/c_fill,w_720,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/voltaxMediaLibrary\/mmsport\/si\/01jkq3gvd8tg4jyrdm11.jpg\" alt=\"Travis Kelce Still a Valuable Asset, But His Chiefs' Future Is Uncertain\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While these marks are effective, they pale in comparison to what he was able to accomplish in 2022.
