With Xavier Worthy and Rashee Rice sidelined, the Chiefs need Travis Kelce to step up, and he has not done that this season.
In his defense, he is the focal point of opposing defenses. The rest of Kansas City’s pass catchers are quality players but do not strike fear into defenses, and the Chiefs’ running game is non-existent.
Kelce’s stat line in Week 2 was solid, catching four passes for 61 yards, but his drop, which directly led to a critical Patrick Mahomes interception, completely shifted the game in Philadelphia’s favor, and Kansas City never recovered.
