“It is probably because when I first got to the league, the Broncos were that team. Every single week we played them, in the building it was amped up. It was like alright we focus a little bit more, a little bit more is on the line for this one. And AFC West opponents, playing them twice a year. I just feel like that rivalry and the Raiders are the two biggest ones that I actually feel the rivalry and history whenever we play them.” Kelce said, naming his two biggest rivalries.
