Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs wore smart suits in a picture to showcase the team’s captains for the 2024 playoffs. 

Along with them, the Chiefs chose four other players from various positions for captaincy. Cornerback L’Jarius Sneed, defensive tackle Chris Jones, kicker Harrison Butker, and punter Tommy Townsend have all joined the team. 

Kelce recently discussed the honor of being elected captain as the team enters the playoffs in search of their second consecutive championship. 

‘I believe coach [Andy] Reid does the captains deal for the team a little bit differently than a lot of other coaches in the league,’ Kelce explained. ‘Throughout the year, we have several captains. Every game day, the captains change. 

‘When it comes to the playoffs, he lets the players vote on who the captains are and who the people are who have risen throughout the season and will lead us into a fight for the rest of the season. 

Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce posed with fellow Chiefs captains in a recent photo.

The quarterback donned an ash-grey suit over a white shirt and black tie. The matching pants were tapered, and a pair of black dress shoes finished the look. 

Meanwhile, the great tight-end Kelce wore a double-breasted light gray suit with little black and white stripes. Kelce also wore a white dress shirt with a black tie. In terms of footwear, he took a more athletic approach, donning black and gray Nikes. 

The incumbent champions defeated the Miami Dolphins in the wildcard round, completing the first of four steps toward a successful title defense. 

Their 26-7 win against Miami earned them a divisional playoff match against the Bills on Sunday. Buffalo advanced after defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-17 in the wildcard game. 

Following a 6-1 start to the season, the Chiefs failed to tie consecutive wins until their final two games, finishing 11-6 and atop the AFC West. 

Mahomes hopes to lead the Chiefs to victory in his first road playoff game, with the exception of the Super Bowl. The game between Kansas City and Buffalo will begin at 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday.
