However, one of the things that remained consistent was the offensive gameplay between Mahomes and Kelce, scrambling across the midfield and connecting for deep passes that eventually led to touchdowns.

One of his recent heroics from the Colts game went viral online. He was seen bouncing off four defenders in the third quarter after receiving a pass from the quarterback. This snippet instantly garnered several likes and shares from NFL fans. This crazy display from Kelce came days after he was slammed by the Chargers tackle Derwin James in Week 2.
It was a pure treat for both the Chiefs and the Chargers fan base to see a WWE-style bout taking place on the gridiron. After the game, even the TE couldn’t keep hold of his emotions, praising the safety for his muscle power and resilience.

While speaking in a recent podcast, the veteran explained the moment and the feeling he had after being lifted from the field and rushing towards the end-zone. “I made a cutback, and he is on me like lightning,” Kelce said. “He surprised the s*it out of me. The lower man always wins in football. When I felt him wrap his arms around my legs, honestly, I’m chuckling in my head.”

“I’m like, ‘This is not about to end well for me right now. I’m going up. What goes up must come down.'” he added to his explanation. In the coming week, Kelce and Co will face one of the formidable sides of the league. Tom Brady and the Buccaneers will buckle up to reinstate their confidence after facing a defeat against the Packers. Indeed, the expectations are quite high for both sides.
