Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, a Cincinnati native with roots in the Cleveland area, might seem like someone accustomed to extreme cold. However, during the Chiefs" 26-7 triumph over the Miami Dolphins in the AFC wild-card game, it became clear that no one was truly immune to the bone-chilling conditions.
Facing wind chills approaching 20 degrees below zero, Kelce found a unique way to deal with the cold—by unleashing loud screams, as captured by NFL Films in a clip shared on social media last Thursday. “Don"t let the cold affect your image and get hype," Kelce advised before the video cut to three different instances of him passionately screaming.

Despite the freezing temperatures, Kelce delivered a strong performance, hauling in seven passes for 71 yards in the victorious game. Perhaps the unconventional method of coping with the cold played a role.
“I just like screaming right now," Kelce shared at the end of the “highlight" reel. “You gotta keep it warm, you know what I mean?" It seems Kelce found a unique and spirited way to stay fired up amidst the freezing conditions, contributing to the Chiefs" successful playoff outing.
