‘I have no other option…’ – Travis Kelce on embracing Chiefs’ new mentality under Eric Bieniemy

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce praised the return of offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, describing the new mindset he brought to the team as "a breath of fresh air." Bieniemy, who previously led the Chiefs for nine seasons before moving on in 2022, has already had a positive influence on the squad according to Kelce.

In a recent appearance on the 'New Heights' show, Kelce elaborated on the impact Bieniemy's return has had on the team's mentality. "Breath of —– fresh air. I think we all know that ‘ol ball coach that will tell you, ‘We gotta run it down this mother—– face. If you say that every day when we put on pads, you start creating a —— mentality and mindset where I have no other option but to run through this mother—– face,'" Kelce said.

The Chiefs' aggressive style of play was evident during their opening-week win over the Denver Broncos, where they rushed for 173 yards through running back Kenneth Walker. Kelce also had a standout play, running 59 yards with the ball to help secure the victory. This tough demeanor on the field seemed to catch the Broncos off guard in their opening match.

Bieniemy's offensive strategy, crafted during his time with the Chicago Bears, has been instrumental in the Chiefs' success. He is now hoping his offense can continue to perform well, as the Chiefs aim to make a serious run at the Super Bowl.
