The Kansas City Chiefs lost 20-13 to the Denver Broncos in their final home game of the 2025 season.
And with question marks over Kelce’s future beyond this season, he may not play for the Chiefs in front of the home crowd again.
So Amazon Prime were desperate to capture all the important moments on a potentially momentous day.
And that included after the end of the game.

Kelce trudged back towards the locker room following the defeat.
But as the broadcasters’ cameras tried to follow him all the way, the Chiefs’ senior director of team security stepped in and blocked them.
Brian Shafar was heard saying, “I’ve told you!”
Another Chiefs employee came over and they engaged in a tense exchange with the camera operator.

And Prime quickly switched to a different camera feed from the tunnel area to avoid showing the confrontation.

He made five catches for just 36 yards for the Chiefs, who will miss out on the Super Bowl for the first time since the 2021 NFL season.
Kelce admitted he was feeling “a whole lot of emotions” after the game.
He said, “You’ve got everybody in the world watching you. You get to go out there with the young guys on prime-time television.
“Young guys getting an opportunity to taste what this NFL life is like.
“You only get a few of those [occasions] where you get to stand there and appreciate [60,000] 70,000 Chiefs fans cheering for you… I always embrace that moment.
“It’s a beautiful thing, man… whether it’s coming out of the tunnel or just making a big play for them. That’s why we love Arrowhead.”
The tight end added he would “cherish forever” the “generations of happiness and the love that [the fans] have”.
But he did not make a clear call on possible retirement – but did leave the door open for staying put with the Chiefs for one more year.
Kelce added, “I think I’m still searching for those answers.
“Obviously the way this one ended with a sour taste in my mouth. I feel motivated but I’ve got to make the right decision for myself.’
“Just the fact that when I know it’s over, it’s over.
“I still have a lot of love for this game. If I came back it would be just to answer that flame in my heart for this thing.
“If it was just Sundays, I think I could play until I’m 50 but obviously there is so much that goes into it.”
