Downplaying Patrick Mahomes’ “Scary” Concerns, Travis Kelce Rues Missed Opportunity Against Jaguars

The Kansas City Chiefs are back to winning ways, after a shaky start in the opener. After an embarrassing loss against the Lions in the season opener. KC Chiefs look set to defend their title in the 2023 season. The big game against the Jaguars saw the return of one of the team’s integral players. It showed good signs for the SB champions going forward in the tournament.

Patrick Mahomes holds the key to the side. With the second highest-paid QB in NFL history looking to add to the team’s Super Bowl cabinet. Chiefs are back in business and shaping up nicely as the NFL progresses. Joining forces with Mahomes, the offensive-winning combination would be eyeing a third title win. Recently, the 2X SB MVP addressed the media post the Kansas win against the Jaguars. While answering some pressing questions, the QB was asked about his thick mate’s match evaluation. Though Mahomes seemed concerned, the player in question has quashed any such claims.

Travis Kelce denies any “scary” injury concerns

In what was a successful campaign for the side, Kelce, along with Mahomes was a nightmare for the opposition. This year, the tight end missed the season opener with a knee injury and returned with a TD against the Jaguars. Mahomes was noticeably concerned and deemed his injury as “scary”. The 8X Pro-Bowler downplayed any such major concerns. He looked resolute as he gave his two cents on his comeback. “There was no doubt in my mind It is what it is. I was out there flying around. I wish I would have helped my team out a little more than I did, but we came out of Jacksonville with a win.”

Kelce further stressed that his mobility was restricted after the injury. However, as he plays more games, his movement and reflexes will be back to their best. The tight end is a crucial member of the KC Chiefs squad. The 4X First-Team All-Pro winner covered nearly 1,340 yards and accounted for 12 touchdowns in 2022. Kelce who was rumored a linkup with Taylor Swift promised a good season. However, problems are plenty for the 2023 champions as the Week 2 games highlighted some glaring issues.

The home side committed 12 penalties during the run of play. These included 8 done by the offenses alone, as Mahomes and Kelce’s chemistry yielded results. Furthermore, the three turnovers didn’t allow the KC Chiefs to dominate the Jaguars’ defenses. Though Kelce and Mahomes combined for a 9-yard TD, they’d be looking to finetune the offenses.

For the Chiefs, it’s time to rejoice as Mahomes and Kelce seem to be playing in their 2022 mode. Fans would hope that the duo carry on from where they left in the last game and take the side in playoffs.
