The Kansas City Chiefs tight end had made a slow start to the campaign but scored a touchdown for the first time this year as the Super Bowl winners beat the Las Vegas Raiders last weekend and admits that he loved the "electric" feeling of making the difference for his team.

Speaking to his brother Jason Kelce on their 'New Heights' podcast, Travis said: "It felt good to be in the end zone, man. I hadn't felt that end zone in a long time."

The NFL ace - who is dating music mega star Taylor Swift - joked that he had forgotten what it was like to score a touchdown after going for so long without one.

Travis said: "It was kinda like, 'Oh, s***. What do I do now?' You know? It was one of those things I haven't been in a while.

"It's like when you go back home, you're just like, 'Well....now what do I do? Do I go see this person first or that person first? Do I go to the high school? Do I go to my favorite restaurant?' You know what I mean?"

Travis faced criticism for his sluggish start to the season but he explained that he takes a philosophical approach to his own performances on the field.

He said: "I used to get really, really p***** off and almost lose my cool a lot of the time from not having that success knowing I demand that out of myself.

"I just like to play the game to such a high level of accountability that it’s tough for me to deal with me being mediocre or having stats that represent that."
