The Kansas City Chiefs’ tremendous run continues. The Patrick Mahomes-led side made their way past the Chargers in a closely fought game that ended 30-27 for the Kansas outfit. Mahomes was, as usual, the star of the show, but the MVP candidate was all praises for his teammate that helped him flourish.

Patrick Mahomes combined with his tight end, Travis Kelce, for a total of three touchdowns. The only three that came for the Chiefs. The tight end-quarterback duo has been dynamic all season and seems to be getting along very well. Mahomes took to the podium after their game and was raving about his teammate.

Patrick Mahomes reveals the Chief’s secret recipe to greatness

In his interview, Mahomes called Travis Kelce, the greatest tight end to play the game. While there is clear teammate bias behind the statement, Kelce has been consistently putting up the numbers to back this statement, too. He definitely is one of the best. With the way the two are flourishing with each other, being the best ever might not be too far a reach either. 

 Mahomes was all praises for what Kelce brings to the table. “He just competes. At the end of the day, he’s gonna keep fighting till the very end. When u see that it not only is impressive for him, but it also gets the other guys going” He was most impressed by the leadership qualities of his tight end.

Leading by example is the best way to get the younger guys going. It is something the seasoned Kelce has taken upon himself.

Kansas locker room energy is buzzing

Patrick Mahomes also went on to say that Kelce’s energy has rubbed off excellently on his teammates. With no room for complacency, TE’s secret has been his hunger.“He’s coming to work every single day to get better. That shows you whenever you step in the facility, you’re like, ‘Man, I gotta get to work if this guy is doing it, I have to at least be able to match that’.” Said Mahomes. With this kind of energy echoing through that Kansas locker room, it’s quite evident why the team is performing how they are. 

Mahomes and Kelce have strong off-field chemistry as well. They are often seen enjoying their off time with each other. Having an equation like that also makes a huge difference on the gridiron. As their bromance keeps getting stronger, the Chiefs keep getting stronger.
