Bills fans will be watching the Super Bowl from home, likely rooting for the Eagles because, well, anybody but the Chiefs, right?

But for Bills fans, it should at least be met with some gratitude that Travis Kelce clearly thinks highly of the Buffalo organization and what they’re doing. Although I guess it’s easy to compliment the team that you’ve beat in four of the last five playoffs.

Still, he was asked about Buffalo, and Kelce answered with a lot of respect about Buffalo.

“I would say, keep going, man. That’s all. That’s all I got for you. I think Josh [Allen] is an unbelievable player, coach [Sean] McDermott’s a great coach. And what they have over there is very special, man. And I’ve been at the brink of being really close, like they have it, it’s a tough feeling, but they’ve got the right people in place to be able to try and get over that hump,” Kelce said.

For Buffalo, Kelce and the Chiefs are the hump that they’re trying to get over.

In hindsight, Bills fans should look back at this season and realize that Buffalo exceeded all expectations entering the season. Many thought they would be about a nine-win team, and they ended up winning 15. It was a successful year, no matter how bitter the ending was.

Buffalo will enter 2025 with a young core in place that saw meaningful playing time throughout the season, building continuity and chemistry through the ups and downs of the season.

With offensive coordinator Joe Brady electing to return, there are plenty of reasons that Bills Mafia should be excited about the future prospects of the team, but at some point, winning the last game is all that matters.
