ou could argue that despite the Chiefs‘ perfect start to the 2024 NFL season, Kansas City has played at a level that suggests its 3-0 record is perhaps undeserved. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been brutally honest when assessing his performances to this point in the season, and star tight end Travis Kelce saw his struggles continue even in a 22-17 win over the Falcons on Sunday night.
Kelce had another modest night in Atlanta, and the star of the show was a receiver many are beginning to call Mahomes‘ “new favorite”. As the Chiefs continue to win without receiving significant contributions from the NFL’s highest-paid tight end, an uncomfortable conversation in whispered tones about Kelce’s role in the offense is starting to take place.
