💡 Here’s what you’ll learn:

Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes were one of the best pass-receiving duos of the 2020s, helping to win two Super Bowl titles during the decade. However, no one would have guessed that when watching them on Monday.

In the first half against the Washington Commanders, the Kansas City Chiefs failed several times to catch quarterback passes — one of which reached Bobby Wagner’s hands for an interception:

This led to painful reactions from fans:

Taylor Swift finished all Kelsey’s skills 😒

Kelsey is washed up, and can’t catch anything

“Mahomes ran over MVP because of Travis Kelce,” one person bemoaned.

“This is getting painful,” another winced.

“Just quit bro please,” another pleaded.

Those incompletions were part of a slow stretch that saw the two sides trade interceptions on the first two drives. On Day 3, the Commanders were able to get into opposing territory, but Dan Quinn mistakenly decided to target it instead of trying a field goal, which then committed a turnover on downs.

The Chiefs then followed it up with another interception, which the Chiefs capitalized on again by getting into field goal range. However, Quinn refused to play it safe and committed another turnover on downs.

This time, it would come back to haunt him, as Kareem Hunt scored a quick goal to end the drought. However, Marcus Mariota responded by finding Terry McLaurin on the far side of the end zone to tie the game.

Travis Kelce recently credited the former NBA star for his midseason resurgence

More than two weeks ago against the Detroit Lions, Travis Kelce had a 15-yard reception early — one of what would be six-for-78 — that saw him break three tackles. It was a look back at what he could have done in his prime, and he had a former basketball player to thank for that.

The next day, Inside the NFL released a clip of him likening his tackle sheds to former Houston Rockets star Hakeem “Dream Shake” Olajuwon, which he said he watched in his youth:

According to Pro Football Focus, he missed four tackles on the night – one more than the total he made in 2024. Teammate Robert Tonyan said of his performance:

“This is how young and energetic he feels.”

Patrick Mahomes also liked:

“He’s still got it, man. He’s got the vet moves. …And I feel like I have some, too.”

The following week, Kelce was down to three catches for 54 yards in a shutout of the Las Vegas Raiders.
