“A big game is like, I score a touchdown or something,” Travis told his brother on the podcast. “I was accountable this game, I didn’t have any drops, which is what happened in Atlanta to make me feel like I had a bad game. I didn’t have an outstanding game.”

The Chiefs star went on to explain that as long as his team is winning — and Kansas City is, with a 4-0 record on the season — then everything else is “just noise.”

“Everything outside of the building is just noise,” Travis said. “I helped my team find a way to win and that is all that will ever matter.”
