Travis Kelce came into Monday night’s game with a tremendous amount of pressure on his shoulders as the Kansas City Chiefs looked to get back into the swing of things following a bye week.

The only thing standing between them was a rematch of Super Bowl LVII against the Philadelphia Eagles. There was no better way for Kelce to come out swinging amid the noise about how he plays when his girlfriend Taylor Swift does not come to see him.

All should have been well. Kelce visited Swift during his bye week while she was on her tour in Argentina. He got some extra rest coming out of the team’s win against the Miami Dolphins in Germany.

There was no question – Kelce made an impact early in the game. He ended his touchdown-less drought with a touchdown catch with under two minutes to play in the first half. However, he did not get his first target or catch until 8:26 left in the second quarter.

Then, he went quiet.

He was called upon in the fourth quarter to make a play. He made a catch and then the ball was punched away from his grasp. On the Chiefs’ final drive, he dropped a pass from Patrick Mahomes before he followed up with a catch on fourth down.

That was it.
