Travis Kelce, the star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, has had a tough start to the season despite his team’s undefeated record. After Sunday night’s win against the Atlanta Falcons, Kelce once again failed to deliver his usual standout performance, finishing with just four catches for 30 yards and no touchdowns.
So far this season, Kelce has managed only eight catches for 69 yards and is yet to score. His form has been a noticeable departure from the level of play fans have come to expect from him.
In the latest episode of his podcast New Heights, Kelce spoke candidly about his struggles. “I played like trash,” he admitted, though he added, “I’m playing winning football. It’s not trash. But it could be better.”
Fans are hopeful that Kelce can bounce back to his big-play form when the Chiefs face off against the Los Angeles Chargers this coming Sunday.
