SHOCKING NEWS: He Needs A Break Kansas Chiefs Head Coach Blows Hot On Star Player Distraction…
NFL star Travis Kelce has dismissed concerns over his slow start to the season, maintaining that he remains as formidable a player as ever.
Despite only securing eight catches from 12 attempts, totalling 69 yards and no touchdowns in the first three games, Kelce’s confidence is unshaken. During the Kansas City Chiefs’ 22-17 triumph over the Atlanta Falcons last Sunday, the 34 year old appeared downbeat on the sidelines while his girlfriend Taylor Swift was conspicuously missing from the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Many have attributed Kelce’s sluggish performance to his relationship with Swift and the subsequent fame it has brought him. However, despite his lacklustre offensive display at the beginning of the year, Kelce insists he can still produce the same results he’s achieved throughout his impressive 11-year NFL care
The American football ace said: “This year stats may say something different, but at the same time you’ll see the same person inside this building, and that’s all I really care about. I’m my own worst critic. Everything outside of this building is just noise.
“I’m fortunate. I’ve had the success in the past and I realised that the ball can’t always go to one person. It can’t always get in my hands, but at the same time, I got all the trust in [Patrick Mahomes] to make the right decision, and he’s been making great decisions. We might not be putting up as [many] points as we want to, but at the same time we’re 3-0 and we’re doing something
Despite Kelce’s struggles, several other Chiefs players have stepped up to shoulder the offensive burden. In the game against the Falcons, wide receiver Rashee Rice made an impressive 12 catches for 110 yards and one touchdown, marking his second game with over 100 yards in receptions.
