Kansas City’s star tight end, Travis Kelce, may have started the season slowly, but there is no cause for concern from him or his teammates. According to head coach Andy Reid, “For opposing defenses, the problem remains the same: the connection between Kelce and quarterback Patrick Mahomes is the one thing they can’t ignore.”
Reid is confident in Kelce’s ability to bounce back, stating, “Teams focus on him — and kind of know he’s been Pat’s go-to guy. What it’s done, though, is it’s allowed us to utilize the other guys around them — and they’ve been productive.”
Offensive coordinator Matt Nagy also recognizes the attention Kelce has been receiving from opponents but is not worried about the veteran tight end’s performance. “Travis has been really good,” Nagy told reporters. “I know: you look at the targets. You look at the numbers. You look at all that stuff with Travis.”
Nagy emphasized that there has been “zero change” with Kelce and believes it is only a matter of time before he starts producing at his usual level. “He knows who he is,” Nagy added. “We know who he is. When you have that, it’s important to know that — and it’s just a matter of time.”
In conclusion, despite Kelce’s slow start to the season, the Kansas City Chiefs remain confident in his abilities and believe he will soon return to form as one of the most dominant tight ends in the league. The connection between Kelce and Mahomes is a force to be reckoned with, and opposing defenses cannot afford to overlook the dynamic duo.
