WATCH 👀👀: Postgame Moment Between Travis Kelce, Myles Garrett Turning Heads
On Sunday afternoon the Kansas City Chiefs took down the Cleveland Browns by a final score of 21-7 to improve to 13-1 on the season.
Star tight end Travis Kelce made his triumphant return to the Cleveland area, where he grew up, and played in front of his parents, Ed and Donna. He hauled in four receptions for 27 yards as the Chiefs passing game struggled in the poor weather – and against a very good defense.
Part of that defense, reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett, took some time to speak with Kelce after the game. After they exchanged pleasantries, it looked like they agreed on a jersey exchange.

Fans loved the moment, but also realized Kelce has been racking up the jerseys this season.
“He’s been collecting too many jerseys this season…” one fan said.
Another chose to use two goat emojis to describe the scene.
“Kelce collecting jerseys making me sad for a reason I won’t say,” offered another, seemingly thinking about a potential retirement.
With the win and a loss by the Detroit Lions, the Chiefs own the best record in the NFL, but it came with a price. The team could be without star quarterback Patrick Mahomes for some time after he suffered an ankle injury.
“It’s hard to say right now,” Mahomes said after the game, via ESPN. “You still [have the] adrenaline rolling and usually it’s kind of the day after when you kind of get a good sense of it. I feel like I could have finished the game in different circumstances, but I thought the smart decision … was to put Carson Wentz in.
“… You just do what you have to do to get back, and I think that’s the most important thing. And now we just get back to the rehab part, the treatment part, and try to get ourselves ready on a short week against a good football team.”
