Despite his positive attitude, Travis did admit, “Man, I wished I played as good as I felt.”
Jason isn’t the only athlete to speak out on Travis’ behalf. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes also defended his teammate during a press conference after the Sept. 22 game.
“Yeah, it’s crazy because the team’s still—the respect factor they have for Travis is just unreal,” Patrick told reporters. “It’s well-deserved, but we’re calling a lot of plays for Travis, and it’s like two or three people are going to him.”
“He understands,” he continued. “I think that’s the great thing about him. He wants to make an impact on the game, but he wants to win at the end of the day. I’m going to try to keep doing my best to keep feeding him the ball whenever he’s there, whenever he’s open.”
