In a thrilling match last Sunday night, Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs emerged victorious over the Falcons, keeping their undefeated streak alive. The Chiefs now stand at an impressive 3-0, setting the stage for a potentially historic season as they aim to become the first team ever to win three consecutive Super Bowls.
Despite the team’s success, Kelce, the 34-year-old tight end, has been facing criticism for his slow start in terms of stats. With just nine catches for 69 yards and no touchdowns in three games, questions have arisen about his performance, offseason preparations, and age. Kelce himself acknowledged his struggles, admitting on New Heights that he has been “playing like trash.”
However, Kelce’s teammates, including star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, have come to his defense. Following the game, Mahomes expressed his support for Kelce, and head coach Andy Reid also addressed the criticism, declaring, “Trav is fine. He just keeps being Trav. He works his tail off. He hasn’t lost a step. He’s not distracted.” These words serve as a strong vote of confidence in Kelce’s abilities and commitment to the team.
Looking ahead, Kelce will have the opportunity to silence his critics and deliver a standout performance when the Chiefs take on the Chargers in Los Angeles this Sunday. As the team continues to chase NFL history, all eyes will be on Kelce as he aims to showcase his talent and help lead the Chiefs to another victory.
