Travis Kelce knows how it feels to be on both the winning and losing side of an NFL playoff game. 

Fortunately for Kelce, his Kansas City Chiefs ended up on the right side in their 27—24 playoff win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night. Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen was not so fortunate, losing in the divisional round for the third consecutive season.

But Kelce was gracious in victory, as he met up with Allen on the field after the game to share some kind words. Mics picked up the Chiefs star, who told Allen that he loves him and that he did a “helluva job” getting to the point that he did in the season. 

Here’s the classy moment, courtesy of Dan Fetes of WHAM-TV in Rochester, N.Y. 

Kelce waited to enjoy his own individual and team celebrations to share some classy words with Allen, who was processing the emotions of another tough postseason loss. 

Kudos to the Chiefs star, who handled the moment perfectly. Now, Kelce and Kansas City will be moving on to Baltimore to take on the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC championship game. Kickoff at M&T Bank Stadium is scheduled for 3 p.m. Sunday.
