Tight end Travis Kelce made something clear to quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid about his poor start to the 2024 NFL season with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Two weeks into the 2024 NFL season, one of the biggest storylines around the Kansas City Chiefs is Travis Kelce‘s low production so far. The tight end, however, is not blaming quarterback Patrick Mahomes nor head coach Andy Reid.
Speaking with his brother Jason on their weekly podcast, ‘New Heights’, the 34-year-old made it clear that he has no one to blame but himself for his poor stats in two games with the Chiefs in 2024.
“I put that on me,” said Kelce, who has
only four catches for 39 yards through the first two weeks of the 2024 NFL season. “I didn’t play my best, and it spreads if you don’t fix it and I’ve got to get that thing fixed.”
The three-time Super Bowl champion with the Chiefs was held to just one catch for five yards last time out against the Cincinnati Bengals, and was targeted only seven times by Mahomes this season. Even so, Kelce let everyone know this is not the quarterback’s fault.
If you want to catch the football, (1) it has to be the right play, (2) it has to be the right coverage, and (3) it has to be everybody doing their job up front and on the back end in terms of running their routes. … For whatever reason, for these past two games, it hasn’t gone that way for me. That’s football,” Kelce said.
