Here are eight photos of Travis Kelce from the Chiefs’ loss to Detroit Lions

Tight end Travis Kelce was targeted just once Saturday during the Chiefs’ 24-23 loss to the Detroit Lions in a preseason game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

But what a play it was.

Kelce caught an 8-yard pass on a behind-the-back throw from quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

During a sideline interview Saturday, Mahomes said it wasn’t a called play and poked fun at Kelce. A few minutes later, Kelce got his chance to respond.

“It wasn’t a play? No, it was a play. It was a first down,” Kelce said. “You know he’s got the voice thing, so he kind of mumbled out the play. I couldn’t hear it. I was walking up to the line, I was trying to decipher what he was saying. Before I knew it, he snapped the ball and yeah, and then I kind of saw him out of my peripheral run to the sideline, so I was trying to go help my guy out.

“By the time I looked over there, he was already in mid-form like a photo on a sports card throwing the ball to me. It was just right place at right time.”

This was a fun moment.

Here are eight photos of Kelce from Saturday, including his arrival at Arrowhead Stadium.

And here is video of Kelce greeting fans on his way to the locker room.
