Travis Kelce is preparing to play in his sixth consecutive AFC ChampionshipThe tight end discussed his successful partnership with Patrick MahomesREAD MORE: Kelce says he and Taylor Swift 'can't listen to the outside noise'
Travis Kelce may have dropped a hint on whether he intends to retire or not at the end of the season as he revealed he’s not ready to get off the ride just yet.
The Kansas City Chiefs star is preparing to play in his sixth consecutive AFC Championship game alongside quarterback Patrick Mahomes when they face the top-seeded Baltimore Ravens Sunday.
However, there has been speculation that this weekend’s conference final could be Kelce’s last amid claims he and his brother Jason could both retire at the end of the season.
But, while opening up on his successful partnership with Mahomes in a press conference on Friday, the 34-year-old Kelce showed no signs of wanting to slow down.
‘It’s been a hell of a ride up to this point baby, I don’t feel like getting off the roller coaster anytime soon,’ he told reporters.

While the two-time Super Bowl winner was referring to his relationship with his signal caller, it seemed Kelce wasn’t ready for the NFL ride to come to an end at all.
He clearly still possesses that hunger for success as he revealed that a win this weekend would mean more than any other.
‘I’m thinking about this one on Sunday, and I want it more than any one I’ve ever wanted in my life,’ he said when asked about the Chiefs’ sixth straight AFC Championship game.
Just hours before last Sunday’s divisional matchup, former NBC ‘Sunday Night Football’ sideline reporter Michele Tafoya suggested that this season could be Kelce’s last.
‘I think Travis Kelce is retiring after this season like his brother, so I think there’s just a ton of motivation there for (the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl). … I think they’re highly motivated,’ Tafoya said, during an interview with Marc Ryan of CBS Sports Radio.

Tafoya naturally said she couldn’t reveal her sources but insisted that she believed the tight end was looking to future plans.
She added that Travis and Jason could team up tp produce a ManningCast-style alternate broadcast with their podcast, New Heights, already a hit.
Tafoya’s claim of a potential retirement comes as Travis’s romance with Taylor Swift heats up.
Travis has been dating the pop star since the summer and she has attended the majority of his games this season, including Sunday’s win.
It was revealed earlier on Friday that Jason and his wife Kylie, who met Swift for the first time during the Chiefs-Bills, will cheer on the tight end again on Sunday.

Jason broke the internet when he ripped off his shirt and leapt out of the VIP suite at Highmark Stadium in front of his stunned wife and Swift after his tight end brother scored a touchdown against the Buffalo Bills.
The Chiefs’ 27-24 win in Orchard Park saw them take one step close to the Super Bowl and set up the possibility of a repeat of Jason’s hilarious boozy display.
Travis and the Chiefs will face the Ravens for a spot in the Super Bowl on Sunday and Good Morning America confirmed that his Philadelphia Eagles star brother will be in attendance once again.
The program revealed the veteran center, who is expected to retire this offseason, will be cheering on Travis at M&T Bank Stadium during an interview with his wife Kylie.
