After the Kansas City Chiefs‘ win over the San Francisco 49ers, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was caught on a hot mic discussing a potential Super Bowl rematch with fellow tight end George Kittle.
The exchange has since sparked a frenzy of speculation among fans. Kelce and Kittle, known for their friendly rivalry, greeted each other after the game, but it was their conversation that raised eyebrows.
Kelce greeted Kittle with a simple, “Good to see you,” to which Kittle responded, “Let’s do it again in February.” Kelce eagerly replied, “Yea, why not,” hinting at another potential Super Bowl clash.
While the idea of another Super Bowl meeting between Kelce‘s Chiefs and Kittle‘s 49ers seemed exciting for the two stars, fans weren’t as optimistic about the 49ers’ chances this season.
The 49ers, who are currently 3-4 and struggling with injuries, would need a major turnaround to make another run at the championship.

One fan expressed doubt, saying, “I love Kittle, but they aren’t making it back this year.”
Another commented, “Lol the 49ers aren’t making it anywhere near the Super Bowl this season.”
Some fans found humor in the conversation, with one joking, “Kittle gonna be in the suite with Tay, love that,” referencing Taylor Swift, who has been romantically linked to Kelce.
Others expressed confidence in the Chiefs’ chances, with one fan stating, “Sure. The Chiefs will take another ring.” Another fan pointed out the challenges for the 49ers, saying, “San Fran got too many injuries. They ain’t gonna make the playoffs.”
Kittle Thrives While Kelce Struggles
Despite the 49ers‘ rough start to the season, Kittle is continuing to perform at a high level, recording 92 receiving yards in the loss to the Chiefs. So far this season, Kittle has racked up 375 yards and five touchdowns, proving he remains one of the top tight ends in the league.
In contrast, Kelce has been facing some struggles this year. The star tight end has only managed 17 yards in the Chiefs‘ win over the 49ers and has totaled just 245 receiving yards on the season with no touchdowns-far below his usual production.
As Kelce and Kittle look ahead to the possibility of another Super Bowl showdown, the road to February will be much tougher for the 49ers. For now, both players and their fans will have to wait and see if their playful post-game chat turns into reality.
