The Kansas City Chiefs struggled to get off to a good start against the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl. The
Chiefs were scoreless in the first quarter. Travis Kelce, the Chiefs tight end, finished the first half with one catch for
one yard.
On the sidelines, 49ers star Fred Warner encouraged his teammates to keep it up. Warner’s words were captured on
the NFL’s mic’d up footage. “Imma tell you right now bro, we’ve got to make his life miserable for four quarters,” he
replies. “He’s not built for that!”
The video of Warner’s statements became popular on X, formerly known as Twitter, with over 500,000 views by
February 16. While the Niners defense tried to shut down Kelce, the All-Pro tight end eventually made their life
miserable.
Kelce finished against the 49ers with nine receptions for 93 yards. According to Next Gen Stats, Kelce achieved a
high speed of 19.68 mph on his 22-yard reception, which set up the Chiefs’ game-tying field goal. The 34-year-old
has the “fastest speed as a ball carrier over the last seven seasons.”
Warner and his teammates failed to stop Kelce, which is a tough order in the postseason. Kelce has 13 career playoff
games with 113 catches, 1,271 yards, and 13 touchdowns. He has made the most postseason receptions in NFL
history.
One individual wrote, “I am a #49ers supporter. Coaches and players fumbled a common sense bag. The game plan
was to double team that guy, allegedly Warner and co. I have never heard of such a thing. “Poor football awareness.” Another person wrote, “The more mic’d up vids that are released, the worse the Niners look.”
