After having a terrible start to their 21-22 campaign, it looks like the Kansas City Chiefs are slowly getting back on track. Last night saw the Chiefs register yet another victory as they crushed the Las Vegas Raiders 41–14. Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill were on fire this weekend.
While the dominant resurgence of Patrick Mahomes and Chiefs got all the attention, there was one more thing that garnered a lot of attention. Post match, Raiders Tight End Darren Waller and Packers TE Travis Kelce had a wholesome moment. The duo exchanged their jerseys with each other with the former heaping praises on the latter.

Travis Kelce and Darren Waller engage in a wholesome display of respect post match
Last night’s Packers vs Raiders clash saw two amongst the finest Tight Ends of this era go head to head. While Darren Waller had a quiet night, catching 4 passes for 24 yards, Travis Kelce, on the other hand, put on a show in Las Vegas. The Packers TE hauled in eight catches for 119 yards, thus settling in the debate.
Acknowledging the phenomenon that Kelce is, Waller exchanged jerseys with Travis and wrote astounding words for Kelce. “Trav, you revolutionized the position and put some sauce with it! Keep elevating!” Waller wrote on the jersey.

Another impressive aspect of his play against the Raiders was the fact that his passes didn’t get intercepted even once by the Raiders defense. His performance against the Raiders was a stark improvement from his week 9 display against the Packers, where he threw a career-low 166 yards. Here’s hoping that Mahomes gets back on track for the rest of the season!
