But the Chiefs looked disjointed, failing to move the ball at the end of the game as Denver erased a late deficit and won 22-19. The loss delivered a serious blow to the already precarious playoff hopes for the defending AFC champions.<\/p>\n<p>After the game, Kelce wasn\u2019t in the mood to talk to reporters, but did deliver a dire statement on the future of the team.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 data-mm-id=\"_knh65uko8\">Travis Kelce Not Talking About Team\u2019s Record<\/h2>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_knh65uko8\">Kelce led the way for the Chiefs on Sunday, making nine receptions for 90 yards with a touchdown, but saw the offense stall out when it mattered most. After taking a late three-point lead, the Chiefs went three-and-out on their final two drives, allowing Denver to march on to two field-goal drives to win the game.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_knh65uko8\">The loss dropped the Chiefs to 5-5, making a near-impossible deficit in the division while dropping them further out of a wild-card spot. The Chiefs finished the day in ninth place in the AFC.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_knh65uko8\">Kelce said after the game that he didn\u2019t want to talk to reporters, but made it clear that he\u2019s not thinking about the team\u2019s now dire record.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_knh65uko8\">\u201cIf you\u2019re going to ask me about the record, I could care less about that right now,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_knh65uko8\">Kelce\u2019s future in the NFL remains unclear. He considered retirement last offseason but ultimately decided to return for the final year of his contract with the Chiefs.<\/p>\n<p>In an appearance on the \u201cBussin with the Boys\u201d podcast in July, Kelce made it clear that he\u2019s not making plans beyond the current season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m focused on this one. I don\u2019t know what next year is going to feel like,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t know what I\u2019m going to feel like in March or April next year when I make that decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 data-mm-id=\"_knh65uko8\">Travis Kelce\u2019s Teammate Taking the Blame<\/h2>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_knh65uko8\">Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes did speak to reporters after the game, saying the fourth-quarter struggles were his fault. Mahomes said he needs to be more consistent and avoid mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we\u2019re really talented and we\u2019ve got a lot of great players, but it\u2019s about being more consistent. I think it starts with me,\u201d Mahomes said. \u201cThere\u2019s times where I\u2019m firing and we\u2019re moving the ball down the field at ease. But there\u2019s times where we go in spurts where I miss a throw or a [pass] protection call.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe haven\u2019t been consistent enough to win games. It starts with me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mahomes pointed to a missed opportunity on the game\u2019s opening drive, when he missed a deep pass to wide receiver Xavier Worthy even though Kelce was open underneath.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve just got to make the throw,\u201d Mahomes said. \u201cThere\u2019s no other way around it. The play was designed for [tight end]\u00a0Travis [Kelce] \u2014 and I think Travis is wide open \u2014 but you have these alerts in your plays and how [safety\u00a0Brandon Jones] was sitting with Xavier\u2019s speed, I knew he was going to have a chance down the field. I\u2019ve just got to give him a chance. I miss that one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce didn&#8217;t want to talk about the team&#8217;s record after his team fell further out of the playoff picture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37827,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37826","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kansas-city-chiefs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>BREAKING : \ud83d\ude22 Travis Kelce Drops Surprising, Somber Hint About the Chiefs\u2019 Future After Their Crushing Loss \u2014 What\u2019s Really Going On?
