Former Cincinnati Bearcats standouts Travis and Jason Kelce chatted during the latest episode of their "New Heights" podcast about Kansas City tight end Travis' fumble during the fourth quarter of the Chiefs' Week 13 loss to the Bengals.

And while Travis didn't exactly go Justin Reid - apologizing for not giving the Bengals' Hayden Hurst proper respect and then later tweeting an insult - he did arouse the ire of some Cincinnati fans on social media by not giving Bengals linebacker Germaine Pratt enough credit for stripping the ball and causing the turnover.

Travis talked about the fumble for several minutes, but didn't mention Pratt by name.

"I handed 'em one, man," Travis Kelce said of his fumble. "That s--- stings. The way I wasn't accountable for my guys. Knowing how big of a moment that was and having ball security is, you know, No. 1 thing that needs to be on your mind when you have when you have the ball in your hand in a moment like that. … It's obviously lost us a game in my mind, so I've gotta do something to fix that."

"I got a feeling this is not the last time you're gonna see these guys this year," Jason Kelce said.

"I wouldn't be upset at it," Travis replied.

Earlier this season, the Kelce brothers discussed turf fields and big hits they both sustained.
