The Kansas City Chiefs are preparing to play the Buffalo Bills in a highly-anticipated AFC Championship Game matchup. Of course, the game pits two of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs and Josh Allen of the Bills, against each other.

However, it appears that one Chiefs star, tight end Travis Kelce, has his eyes on a potential Super Bowl matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles, and their star running back, Saquon Barkley.

Kansas City Chiefs All-Pro Tight End Travis Kelce Issues Warning to Team About Philadelphia Eagles Running Back Saquon Barkley

During his popular podcast “New Heights,” which he hosts with Eagles legend Jason Kelce, the All-Pro tight end issued a stern warning to his team about Barkley and the many offensive weapons Philadelphia has:

“Do we know that’s the guy we need to stop?” Kelce asked.

Kelce pointed to Barkley’s recent dominant performance against the Rams, where he finished with 26 carries, 205 yards, and a touchdown. Two explosive runs for 62 and 78 yards during the playoffs have only added to the hype.

“The guy’s just taken every game he’s in.”

But it’s not just Barkley that Kelce is worried about-the Eagles’ offensive scheme is another cause for concern.

With their run-pass options (RPOs), tight ends sealing the edges, and wide receivers throwing crushing blocks, the Eagles have created a nightmare for opposing defenses. Despite these challenges, Kelce is confident in his Chiefs’ defense, which has been stellar all season. Kansas City’s defense has allowed just 88.4 rushing yards per game, locking down some of the league’s best backs like Derrick Henry. Still, Kelce knows stopping Barkley won’t be easy.

Obviously, Kelce and the Chiefs need to worry about beating the Bills first before they concern themselves with whatever NFC opponent they might face in the Super Bowl.

One hopes, for their sake, that they are not thinking ahead too much and are focused on winning this weekend instead.
