The Chiefs are quite impressed by the toughness Kelce displayed on Sunday afternoon in Minnesota.
According to Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, that was Travis Kelce's message to him after the tight end went down with a right ankle injury in Sunday afternoon's 27-20 win against the Minnesota Vikings. Following some evaluations from the training staff before and during halftime, the All-Pro came back out onto the field and ramped up a bit on the sideline in advance of his much-anticipated return to play.
In all, Kelce finished Week 5 with a season-high 10 catches for 67 yards and a touchdown. He converted on all but one of his targets in the game, striking fear into the Minnesota secondary. In a performance that saw Kelce display"resilience," per defensive tackle Chris Jones, the NFL's best tight end had five catches for 45 yards and a score on his first drive back on the field despite looking hobbled still.
"It was a little weird because it happened right before half," Mahomes said."We obviously had that two-minute drive and then you get back to the locker room, they're looking at it and stuff like that. Obviously, if Travis is out of the game, it hurts, but I knew he was trying to get back in. I feel like Travis has the same mindset as I do — if you give him the window like he can get back in the game, he's going to get back in the game.
As many remember, Mahomes suffered a high-ankle sprain during the Divisional Round of last year's playoffs and had to briefly exit the contest. After some back-and-forth with the training and coaching staff, he later returned and helped play a role in the Chiefs' win that ultimately jumpstarted their run to Super Bowl LVII.
Just like he has plenty of times in the past, Kelce led all Chiefs pass-catching weapons in targets, receptions and yards. If it wasn't for rookie Rashee Rice's third-quarter touchdown catch, he'd also have notched the solo lead in that category as well. Even with a limited snap count , the eight-time Pro Bowler worked in conjunction with Mahomes to build a lead that wouldn't go on to be forfeited.
