Travis Kelce was spotted wearing an animal print tracksuit before the Kansas City Chiefs' must-win game against the Cincinnati Bengals on New Year's Eve.
Ironically, the NFL star donned the tiger stripes ahead of Sunday's big game in Kansas City, where Kelce is under increasing pressure to lead his team back to winning ways following a loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Christmas Day.
He was pictured leaving his $6 million mansion in Kansas City early Sunday morning as he prepared for one of the day's big games in the NFL.
His girlfriend Taylor Swift is expected to return to Arrowhead Stadium to cheer him on along with his mother Donna, who flew to Kansas City on Friday evening to spend the holidays with the couple.
Tight end Kelce is also closing in on his own incredible NFL record today – he's just 32 yards away from his eighth consecutive 1,000-yard season. No other tight end in NFL history has had more than two consecutive seasons of 1,000 yards or more.

But Kelce and the Chiefs were beaten by the Raiders on Christmas Day, and Kelce's temper got the better of him during the loss.
He was filmed throwing his helmet to the ground in anger at how a play had turned out, before his coach Andy Reid appeared to push into him to calm him down.
The loss was the fifth in eight games for the Chiefs, an alarming downturn for last season's Super Bowl champions.
And the 34-year-old was still seething over the Raiders' loss as he recorded the weekly episode of his New Heights podcast with his brother Jason.
“We literally played Santa Claus and gave them a present,” Kelce said.
“That was embarrassing. Everyone in the building knows how embarrassing that was. It's a short week, so we'll forget about this crap real quick.
“It's a damn frustrating experience right now and we're trying to fix it every day.” I promise you.
“It's not just one.” It's not just me playing dogshit… we played so poorly on offense that we put the defense in a really tough spot at the end of the game. “It’s frustrating when you have the people you need and things don’t go the way you want.”

Kelce reportedly has big plans for the offseason when Swift is on tour in Europe
Off the field, Swift and Kelce spent the holidays together with the singer, enjoying some downtime from their otherwise tireless touring schedule.
And earlier this week it was reported that Kelce has some big plans for her as she tours the rest of the world in 2024 on her hugely successful Eras Tour.
Kelce has reportedly booked trips to Italian vineyards and tables at some of Europe's best restaurants for her tour of the continent next summer.
But before that, Kelce hopes he can play a lot of football.
After the Bengals game, Kelce and the Chiefs round out the regular season in Los Angeles against the Chargers.
The playoffs then begin on January 13th and the Super Bowl takes place on February 11th in Las Vegas.
