Travis Kelce shares candid take on NFL scheduling Chiefs vs Cowboys on Thanksgiving

Travis Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs will be among the handful of NFL teams playing on Thanksgiving this season. The Chiefs will face the Dallas Cowboys on the festive occasion, and Kelce is excited about the game.

In an episode of his "New Heights" podcast on Tuesday, Kelce shared his opinion of the NFL scheduling the Chiefs vs. Cowboys matchup on Thanksgiving.

"This is my first time playing on it, man," Kelce said (1:01:03). "I've always, like, dreamed about playing on it, because, obviously, started out playing in the backyard and just screwing around. Always had the turkey bowl around where we were with friends and families. And I've always loved football and Thanksgiving.

"Like, that's like, those two go together like f*cking peanut butter and jelly, man. So I'm excited to play. We're in Dallas, so I'll hold it down for try and hold it down for the birds fans out there and get after the Cowboys, man. But yeah, dude, I'm excited to do it, and hopefully I'm eating turkey on the field afterwards."

The last time the Chiefs played on Thanksgiving was in 2006.

Kelce has been with the Chiefs since they drafted him in the third round in 2013. He is widely regarded as one of the best TEs the franchise has ever had.

Kelce has helped the Chiefs reach five Super Bowls and won three.

Kelce can add another feather to his cap when he faces the Cowboys on a historic Thanksgiving Day game on Nov. 27.

Travis Kelce and the Chiefs (5-4) will lock horns with the Denver Broncos (8-2) in Week 11 of the 2025 NFL season on Sunday. The game will kick off at 4:25 p.m. ET from Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado.

The Chiefs lost to the Buffalo Bills in their Week 10 game and had a BYE in Week 11. They will want to get back to winning ways against Denver, but it won't be an easy task. The Broncos have won seven straight games, holding the joint-longest winning streak this season.
