Travis Kelce addressed allegations of cheating following the Kansas City Chiefs' playoff win against the Houston Texans.

The controversy included criticism from rapper Lil Wayne, who accused the Chiefs of benefiting from referee favoritism. 

Kelce, appearing on the New Heights podcast with his brother Jason, discussed the allegations but chose to remain reserved on certain topics. 

Defensive tackle Khalen Saunders commented on social media, acknowledging questionable referee calls but also pointing out defensive lapses by the Texans. 

Will Anderson Jr., a Texans player, admitted the team approached the game with a "us versus the refs" mindset, highlighting the perceived challenges. 

Texans coach DeMeco Ryans emphasized the need for his team to avoid mistakes, given the perceived adversity they faced. 

The Chiefs' victory set them up for an AFC Championship game against the Buffalo Bills, scheduled for January 26 at Arrowhead Stadium. 

The Chiefs, aiming for their third consecutive Super Bowl title, have secured the Vince Lombardi Trophy for the past two seasons.
