Where else would you see a pair of GOATs but on the field?
The Kansas City Chiefs took a 27-17 win over the New England Patriots in Week 15, and while a Kansas City-New England matchup would garner all sorts of headlines and aplomb in recent years, the current state of coach Bill Belichick's Pats squad made the matchup less appealing.
Following the win, cameras caught Belichick and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce sharing a lengthy handshake and conversation. It was a bit longer than your traditional postgame exchange of pleasantries, leading some to question exactly what the conversation was about.

On the Dec. 20 "New Heights" podcast, Kelce shared the details of that talk with Belichick.

"I just mentioned how much I respect him and how much it's always the biggest challenge I go up against in the National Football League, is going up against one of his defenses. I just wanted to make sure he heard that from my mouth, man, because it's been a pleasure going up against him all these years," Kelce said.
"I got asked after the game, did I feel like it was the last time, or anything like that. Honestly, I was just going up to him to pay respect over the 10 years I've been going up against him. How much I appreciate the challenge, every single time. And hats off to him for always being that great.
"They asked me if it was the last, I'm just like, 'it might not be here (in New England). Whatever the situation is going on here, it might not be it.' But I think that guy's got some football left in him."
The last lines are particularly telling: Kelce seems to believe that Belichick won't file retirement papers with the league anytime soon, which will certainly fuel speculation of Belichick's next potential landing spot.
Some recent rumors indicate that Belichick may have his eyes set on the West Coast and the Los Angeles Chargers. L.A. moved on from head coach Brandon Staley after a 63-21 loss to the Raiders in Week 14.
If Belichick does make the move to Hollywood, then expect plenty of Kelce-Hoodie sequels in the coming years.
