Chiefs’ Travis Kelce had no one around him for TD catch vs. Broncos. Here’s why
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had his team’s only touchdown Sunday — a 2-yard reception from quarterback Patrick Mahomes on a fourth-and-goal in KC’s 16-14 home victory over the Denver Broncos.
In this video, KC Star reporter Jesse Newell and Brett Taveau (author of the Chiefs book “Unpacking Greatness” and a longtime high school offensive coordinator) take a closer look at the details the Chiefs needed to get Kelce so wide open on a critical play.
A rewatch of the film shows how KC coaches, including Andy Reid, succeeded in confusing Denver’s defenders.
The Chiefs also flourished on a play that worked for them last year — and was used against them in Super Bowl LIV.
