Travis Kelce is still smarting from the Kansas City Chiefs' blowout loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV, and he's using that as extra motivation to capture the Lombardi Trophy again.

"That was pretty embarrassing man, taking that loss down there in Tampa, man," the All-Pro tight end said on "NFL Total Access," according to NFL.com's Nick Shook.

"If you're not motivated after taking a shellacking like that, I don't know what's wrong with you," he continued. "I want to go win one more than I ever wanted to get one in the first place and that's everybody in that building, man."

The Chiefs were attempting to secure their second consecutive championship when the Tom Brady-led Buccaneers dispatched them 31-9.

Kelce caught 10 passes for 133 yards in the game, but Kansas City's high-octane offense was kept out of the end zone.

The 31-year-old said the entire franchise is thinking about revenge in 2021.

"That's why I love Kansas City, we've got great guys, top to bottom," Kelce said. "Front office, Clark Hunt, the head of it all, the owner of the Chiefs, he's done a great job of getting the right people in the right place, even more so this year with the new additions that we have.

"It's just exciting times and everybody's motivated to just get better and go out here and try to win a Super Bowl, man."
