Is Travis Kelce having a down year?
Although Travis Kelce is having a 'down' year, he has still been productive as a tight end. Before today's game, Kelce had 85 catches for 924 yards and five touchdowns this season.
He's on pace to eclipse 1,000 yards for another time and could add a few more scores.
Kelce has seven straight seasons of at least 1,000-plus yards and will likely extend that streak to eight. He has gotten slower, but he is still one of the best tight ends in the NFL and Patrick Mahomes' No. 1 target.
The Kansas City Chiefs and Kelce trailed the Las Vegas Raiders 17-7 at halftime.
