It appeared that Reid gave a little post-game speech as he stood in one photo with his hand on his chest while his players gathered around him. In the background, Kelce playfully embraced kicker Harrison Butker from behind.
“New Year’s Eve ain’t the only thing we’re celebrating tonight!” the Chiefs captioned the post.

The Grammy winner also attended the Chiefs’Christmas Day game against the Las Vegas Raiders— although that matchup had a disappointing outcome. The Chiefs lost to their AFC West rival 20-14, with the Raiders taking an early lead before scoring on two Kansas City turnovers within a seven-second span in the first quarter.
Kelce alluded to the crushing loss on Friday’s bonus episode of hisNew Heights with Jason and Travis Kelcepodcast. When his sister-in-lawKylie Kelce, who is married to his brother Jason, asked how his holiday was, he said Christmas was “f—ing the worst, not gonna lie."
“I’ve had better,” he added, seemingly referring to the losing game.
However, Travis went on to share that the holiday turned around for him as he hinted at some festive downtime spent with Swift.
“But it ended well, with good Christmas cheer and great people, and that’s always gonna save Christmas — no matter if you lose to the Raiders or not.”
