Travis Kelce insists he is ready for a 'dog fight' in a potentially arctic Green Bay this weekend.
Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs are set to visit Lambeau Field to face the Packers on Sunday, when both teams will continue their pursuit of a place in this season's NFL playoffs.
And to add to the spectacle, the two teams are expected to battle it out in the snow with forecasts predicting a temperature of around 20 degrees by the time the game commences.
Whatever the weather on the day, though, Kelce is licking his lips at the prospect of a showdown with the Packers, who claimed a 29-22 victory over the Detriot Lions last time out.
He told brother Jason on their New Heights podcast: 'Shout out to the Packers fans, that stadium you just feel the history and how legendary it is. And the fans, they make it an experience man. It's gonna be a fun one man, it's gonna be a fun one.

'Packers are playing good football right now, coming off a huge win against the Lions, and yeah... we know we're gonna be in a f****ng dog fight.
'They're getting a few guys off the IR this week. So yeah, it's gonna be a challenge for us offensively and we're gonna need our defense and special teams to hold up their end, because you've gotta play a complete game against this team.'
When discussing the weather forecast, Jason said: 'That's not that cold, I've played in worse.'
Travis then replied: '100 percent'.
The Packers are currently third in the NFC North after amassing a 5-6 record this season, while winning three of their last four games.
The Chiefs, meanwhile, are top of the AFC West with an 8-3 record.
A glum-looking Kelce still made time for his fans on Thursday morning as he stopped for gas and picked up some candy on his way to Chiefs practice.

It is a sad day for the superstar NFL tight end after he waved goodbye to his girlfriend Taylor Swift on Wednesday night, with the pop superstar jetting off to London to support her pal Beyonce at the Renaissance premiere.
But Kelce put his feelings to one side to take selfies and hand out fist-bumps with his adoring public as he stopped in his Rolls-Royce near his $6million home, on the way to the Chiefs practice facility.
With Taylor away, attention for Travis now turns to their big road game on Sunday in Wisconsin.
