Patrick Mahomes Explains Why Travis Kelce Isn’t Getting as Many Catches This Season OPINION: This article may contain commentary which reflects the author’s opinion.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce continued to struggle to get touches during week 3 — and now quarterback Patrick Mahomes has weighed in on the matter.
“It’s crazy because the respect factor teams have for Travis is unreal, and it’s well-deserved,” Mahomes said during media availability following the team’s third consecutive win, this time against the Atlanta Falcons.
“We’re calling a lot of plays for Travis and it’s like two or three [defenders] are going to him. 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.”
Mahomes continued, “I’m going to do my best to keep feeding him the ball whenever he’s there, whenever he’s open.
On last week’s episode of his New Heights podcast with brother Jason Kelce, Travis said he has learned not to stress about early-in-the-season, underwhelming performances.
“I used to get really, really pissed off and almost lose my cool a lot of the time from not having that success knowing that I demand that out of myself and I just like to play the game to such a high level of accountability that it’s just tough for me to deal with being mediocre or having stats that represent that,” Kelce said.
He continued, adding ““For whatever reason, these past two games it hasn’t gone that way for me and that’s football, man. I’m not about to sit here and get frustrated about it.”
Yet Kelce was caught by cameras on Sunday night looking less-than-enthusiastic during the game.
The NFL star was also seen looking nonplussed during a conversation with his quarterback in footage from the game.
Fans took notice of Kelce’s mood, sharing the clip and commenting on his apparent frustration. One user wrote, “Free Travis Kelce man,” while another said, “You’ll find those routes again, Travis. No doubt… You already know…#ChiefsKingdom.”
