If Travis Kelce is indeed making his final playoff push, the decision will be his and not Father Time’s.
With speculation swirling that a slowed-down Kelce might be tempted to walk away whenever the Chiefs’ season ends, Playoff Travis showed up Saturday and left everyone wondering if there might be a Fountain of Youth being installed in girlfriend Taylor Swift’s renovated family-friendly Rhode Island home.
