ST.ALL EYES ON KELCE: Social Media Erupted With Ruthless Jokes As Travis Kelce’s Somber Sideline Reaction Spread Across NBC Cameras — Turning His Costly Mistake Into The Moment That Shattered The Chiefs’ Hopes On SNF
The Chiefs’ postseason chances took a huge hit in Week 14 as they lost at home to the Texans on Sunday Night Football. Travis Kelce may have taken an even bigger hit.
Down 17-10 late in the fourth quarter after two drives where they failed to convert on fourth down, Patrick Mahomes tried to go to Travis Kelce. After an incomplete pass on first down Mahomes again threw it to his longtime tight end on second down. Kelce started to turn upfield before bobbling the ball and it ended up in the hands of Azeez Al-Shaair.
The sight of Kelce lying on the field as Houston ran off to celebrate the turnover and the inevitable victory was almost as painful to watch.
The slow motion replay that showed Myles Bryant hitting Kelce as his hands searched for the ball looked even more painful.
Kelce was helped up and made his way to the bench where he took a seat on the bench and closed his eyes. NBC went back to him looking peaceful a few times as the clock ticked towards zero.
Kelce finished the game with one catch for eight yards on five targets.
With four games remaining on their schedule they’re now the No. 10 seed in the AFC and have just a 16% chance of making the playoffs.
NFL fans had all sorts of savage jokes over a shot of Travis Kelce looking sad on the sidelines during the Kansas City Chiefs’ heartbreaking loss to the Houston Texans.
In what will go down as one of the most dejecting losses in the Andy Reid era, the Chiefs fell 20-10 to the Houston Texans in a must-win game on ‘Sunday Night Football.’ Now at 6-7, their playoff hopes are practically done for.
Kansas City’s last hopes of beating Houston were dashed when Travis Kelce dropped this pass from Mahomes that fell into the waiting arms of Azeez Al-Shaair:
The interception allowed Houston to burn the clock and tack on an extra field goal to seal the deal. And this shot from NBC Sports cameras is truly hard to watch if you’re a Chiefs fan or a Swiftie:
NFL fans had no mercy seeing that sad shot of Travis Kelce.
“TRAVIS KELCE GIVE IT UP BUDDY ITS OVER,” one fan wrote.
“Dear Travis Kelce… you will NEVER be as good as Gronk,” said a fan.
“This has meme potential fr 🤣,” another wrote.
“Reminds me of this lmao,” a fan posted with an image of a dog.
“That Ben Affleck look. LOL!” a fan said.
“Taylor swift drained this guy,” a user added.
Patrick Mahomes had no touchdowns and three interceptions in the loss. Kelce may as well be credited with the third one, though. Per ESPN, he had just one reception for eight yards.
