After leading the Kansas City Chiefs in targets and captures simply recently, Travis Kelce was extremely peaceful throughout Kansas City’s loss to the Buffalo Bills Sunday. He was targeted 4 times which led to just 2 grabs and 8 backyards.
Buffalo ruined the Chiefs’ best season as Patrick Mahomes wasn’t able to get Kelce going. NFL fans fasted to highlight the star tight end’s quiet video game as he and the Chiefs were stunted by the Bills defense:

Kelce himself even appeared to provide a nod to the Bills’ efforts to stop him. Or, perhaps, he sardonically praised Buffalo, wanting to see them once again in the playoffs:

His rough video game follows 3 strong weeks, where he integrated for 32 receptions, 254 getting backyards and 2 goals.
Kelce, Mahomes and the Chiefs have the very first acne on their record, now sitting at 9-1. They take a trip to Carolina next week for a chance to recover versus the Panthers.
