Travis Kelce celebrated one of the best nights of his career with girlfriend Taylor Swift and a huge group of friends after the Chiefs beat the Bills – but his team were even forced to have cold showers following a game in brutally cold conditions.
Kelce’s friends shared a picture on Instagram in the early hours of Monday morning with the Chiefs star posing in front of a huge group, including Swift, after the epic 27-24 win.
But incredibly, Kelce’s teammate man Donovan Smith earlier claimed that the Bills turned off the hot water in the Chiefs locker room after the a game that was played in a brutal 20 degrees.
After the jubilant Chiefs team returned to the locker room, Smith took to X and said: ‘Damn caught a L and they shut our hot water off… smh (shakes my head) its all good we got that Dub today #ChiefsKingdom’.
It was a small price to pay for the Chiefs after a gripping victory over the Bills that leaves them one win from the Super Bowl. The Chiefs shared pictures of Kelce and Mahomes leading the emotional celebrations in the locker room after a simply magnificent victory.

Coach Andy Reid was snapped given a victory speech to the team and, perhaps ironically, looked to be rubbing his hands together for warmth while doing so.
The Chiefs were cooking on the field but they outfought the Bills in bitterly cold Buffalo temperatures. Snow had hit the city in the days leading up to the game and dropped to a bitter 19 degrees on the night itself.
The team also put out a video of Kelce, who scored two touchdowns on the night, working his way around the locker room to congratulate his teammates.
‘F***ing love you brother,’ Mahomes can be heard telling a pumped-up Kelce.
The celebrations weren’t quite as wild as what the older Kelce brother was enjoying during the game.
Jason got shirtless after Travis scored his first touchdown and climbed out of the VIP suite he was watching the game from, alongside Taylor Swift, and necked a beer in the stands.
There was a serious piece of history for the two Chiefs stars to mark after the game, as well.
Kelce’s two touchdowns meant that together, they overtook the iconic duo of Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski with 16 postseason touchdowns.
‘Patrick and Kelce, with the record that they broke there with Gronk and Tom. I mean, that was a great job there,’ head coach Reid said after the game.

Mahomes paid tribute to Kelce, saying: ‘It speaks to Travis and his work, to be able to go out there and make plays in big games.
‘Passing anything that has Brady and Gronk in it is special. Because those are two of the greatest players.’
One player who missed some of the party was L’Jarius Sneed – who was frustrated at being called for a drugs test after the game.
‘I’m tired of getting drug tested,’ he wrote on X. To add to the frustration, it was Sneed’s birthday on Sunday as well, the cornerback turning 27 on a day he will never forget.
Chiefs quarterback Mahomes was euphoric after his team’s brilliant road win but was quick to pay tribute to the team standing between the Chiefs and the Super Bowl – the Baltimore Ravens.
Speaking to the media in the immediate aftermath on Sunday night, Mahomes said: ‘There’s no weakness there. It´s going to take our best effort.
‘Defense, offense, special teams, they do it all. It´s always a great challenge and that stadium´s going to be rocking, so we´re excited for the challenge.’
That game will be played in Baltimore at the M&T Bank Stadium next Sunday, with Lamar Jackson looking to stop last year’s Super Bowl winners making a return.
The Detroit Lions play the San Francisco 49ers in the other matchup next weekend.
