"Travis Kelce is never scoring again": NFL fans express disappointment as Chiefs TE fails to score vs Texans

NFL fans vented their frustration on social media after Travis Kelce's underwhelming performance. The reactions came after the Kansas City Chiefs's 27-19 win over the Houston Texans on Saturday, where the veteran tight end recorded just five receptions for 30 yards, continuing his recent scoring drought.

The disappointment was particularly acute given Travis Kelce's first-half statistics— just two catches for 15 yards. His struggles stood in stark contrast to those of teammates like Hollywood Brown (three catches, 38 yards) and rookie Xavier Worthy (four catches, 26 yards, 1 TD).

A pivotal moment highlighted Kelce's red-zone difficulties when Worthy inadvertently disrupted a potential touchdown pass intended for him in the fourth quarter. The Chiefs had to settle for Harrison Butker's 27-yard field goal, which pushed their lead to 27-19 with 5:13 remaining.

The veteran tight end's meager 6.0 yards per catch average sparked heated debate among fans. The All-Pro tight end's production has notably declined during the Chiefs' march toward their 14th win of the 2024 season.

Fans and fantasy managers on X (formerly Twitter) didn't hold back their criticism;

"Travis Kelce is simply never scoring again," one user posted.

Another fan highlighted his fantasy football impact;

"didn't think i'd be saying this but travis kelce has been the worst player on my fantasy team this year by some distance."

"Travis Kelce is the biggest flop in fantasy this year…get this man tf outta here," added another.

The conversation then shifted to broader concerns about Kelce's future;

"Travis Kelce is officially washed. Time to retire," one fan declared.

"Travis Kelce fell off so bad," noted another observer.

While one user simply stated, "F**k Travis kelce"

Despite Kelce's subdued performance, the Kansas City Chiefs found success through other playmakers.

Kareem Hunt sealed the win with a 13-yard run in the final minutes, while Xavier Worthy stepped up with a touchdown reception from Mahomes earlier in the game.

Patrick Mahomes finished the day completing 21 of 31 passes for 190 yards and two touchdowns, spreading the ball effectively among his receivers.

The victory improved Kansas City's impressive record to 14 wins this season, though questions about their veteran tight end's declining production continue to mount.
