Travis Kelce hasn't looked like himself to start the 2024 NFL regular season. The Chiefs are 3-0, but Kelce has been struggling. He had just four catches for 30 yards in his team's 22-17 win over the Falcons on Sunday night.
On the season, he has eight catches for less than 100 yards. Kelce has played like a fringe player and not a consistent All-Pro like he's been for most of his career. What's going on with the three-time Super Bowl-winning tight end? His quarterback has a simple theory on why his favorite target has been struggling to start the season.
Mahomes says there's one reason and one reason alone. David Eulitt/Getty Images Mahomes said that his favorite tight end is simply getting covered by too many defenders right now. “Yeah, it’s crazy because teams still — the respect factor they have for Travis is just unreal,” Mahomes said.
“It’s well-deserved, but we’re calling a lot of plays for Travis, and it’s like two or three people are going to him. So, I mean, he understands. “I think that’s the great thing about him is he wants to make an impact on the game, but he wants to win at the end of the day.
” Still, it appears to be frustrating Kelce. He hasn't looked like himself on the bench. Ope pic.
