Confident and with his trademark swagger Travis Kelce flashed the peace sign at cheering fans as he and his fellow Kansas City Chiefs loaded into coaches to head from their hotel to M&T Bank stadium early Sunday afternoon.

Seen in these exclusive pictures obtained by DailyMail.com Kelce and co Chiefs left shortly after 12.30pm with the clock ticking down to their AFC Championship face-off with the Baltimore Ravens which starts at 3pm EST.

Kelce, 34, followed quarterback Patrick Mahomes, 28, who was sharply dressed in a maroon suit, complete with black tie, a smart pocket square and velvet slipper style shoes despite the damp Maryland drizzle.

Chiefs fans crowded to see their heroes and holler support for what they hope will be the game that sees them secure their ticket to Las Vegas later in the month.

If Kelce leads his team to victory, the Chiefs will have upset the odds to return to the Super Bowl with a chance of winning football’s ultimate prize for a seconds straight season.

But lose, and the season is over – and he will walk into the M&T Bank Stadium today knowing that most people expect the Ravens to win.

His girlfriend, Taylor Swift, left Manhattan at around midday to make the short flight to Maryland from New York while his brother, Jason, is expected to cheer the Chiefs on from the stands as well.
