Travis Kelce failed to catch a pass from Patrick Mahomes in the closing moments of the Kansas City Chiefs’ 20-10 loss on Sunday night, leading to an interception and an ensuing Houston Texans field goal to go up by 10 points.
Mahomes’ pass was some distance behind Kelce, who was trying to make a play. The ball went from Kelce’s fingertips and into the hands of Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair. The star tight end was also blasted by Myles Bryant.

It was a rough night for Kelce as he had just one catch for eight yards on five targets. Mahomes made a curious comment about Kelce’s playing future as the Chiefs fell to 6-7 on the year and are now on the verge of missing the playoffs altogether.
“Every season I’ve had with him the last couple of years I’ve tried to cherish because you never know,” Mahomes told reporters after the game. “He’s got himself in good shape this year and he’s been playing fantastic football. He’ll have the opportunity to do whatever he wants after this season.

“But I know one thing, he’s going to give everything he’s got throughout the rest of the season to try to give us a chance to make the playoffs. We know the chances are getting lower and lower, but I know the guys on this team are going to give everything they’ve got, every opportunity they get.”
Kelce has put together a pretty solid season at age 36. He has 60 catches for 727 yards and five touchdowns. Kelce’s touchdown total is more than the 2024 season and the same number as the 2023 season.
