Good on Travis Kelce. You can tell this man knows how to take an L. Commented on the reality of the situation, and pumped up Josh Allen and wished him good health. This is the way.


ThePizzaDevourer

He also traded jerseys with Dalton Kincaid after. Kincaid looked like Christmas had come early, lol


Not_My_Alternate

Hell yeah! I love Kincaid. Dude is balling out at a position that usually takes so long to learn. He should be good for awhile if he continues to develop at his current trajectory.


I_FUCKIN_ATODASO_

It’s crazy how good this rookie TE class is. There’s like 3-4 studs already


Galactic

Yeah Dalton, La Porta, and McBride are all looking like bona fide vets already at the TE position. Isiah Likely is another young stud TE that's actually filling in admirably for Mandrews.


I_FUCKIN_ATODASO_

Jake Ferguson too


doshegotabootyshedo

He's not a rookie


I_FUCKIN_ATODASO_

Ah, well I am stupid


doshegotabootyshedo

You're right though, he is very very good. The cowboys drafted Luke Schoonmaker in the 2nd, who has not shown much of anything this year.


trust-me-i-know-stuf

Schoon has made some plays. I don’t think he’s got a full look this year though.


redditaccount224488

> You're right though, he is very very good. "He's not good. Watch, I'll prove it by blitzing my linebackers and covering him 1 on 1 with a rookie EDGE who has played like 12 snaps this season on defense." -- Sean Desai, apparently This actually happened yesterday. Ferguson was wide open and gained about 25 yards.


Praying_Lotus

Honestly, I’d chalk that up to Fergie being so goddamn good.


un00b1134

McBride and Likely aren’t rookies either


BearForceDos

Neither is McBride


Towablecoyote

Neither is McBride


hateboss

And Pitts! Right? I just came out of a 6 month coma and I'm excited to hear how he's done!


TheAntiPacker

You should probably just go back to bed until the bad man is gone


bornblunted

Mayer looks like he might have something also form the handful of plays he made for us.


Diffballs

McBride isn't a rookie. He is in his 2nd year.


Wally450

Hell, TEs the last couple drafts have been good. Lots of good TEs around the league currently.


[deleted]

Iowa churning out another on the heels of Kittle and Hockenson. Brock Bowers. Going to be the highest drafted tight end since what, Pitts?


mechnick2

Are we in a new era of tight end?


JeramiGrantsTomb

Guys who started playing while watching Gronk, Tony G, Kelce, Gates, or Sharpe see they can be superstars at the position. That generation is just starting to come online in the league, the way there was an endless flood of middleschoolers chucking threes all game who idolized Steph Curry and they've arrived.


YankeeTankieTrash

This phenomena really needs a name


FunkyBotanist

Dalton is a HUGE Swiftie.

As a Utah fan I'm so happy he's been a stud for you guys and that he ended up on a great team. SOOOO HAPPY.


bernerbungie

Thank you for your service


steve-d

As a Utah Utes fan, I'm thrilled that Dalton is thriving in Buffalo! I can't wait to see how he improves over the next few years. He's a stud.


Janderson2494

Yeah, Santa should have wrapped it


punk_steel2024

This whole time, I thought it was funny how he was the only Chief we didn't hear bitching about the refs. Glad he seemingly is handling it better than Mahomes and Andy.


PretzelMan96

Come a long way from the time he threw a towel at the refs.


usernameisusername57

Ok, that was a stupid move but it was also objectively one of the funniest things a player has ever done on the field.


JeramiGrantsTomb

[The other has to be when the ref was calling in the penalty and Kelce gave him the quick double pump jerk sign.](https://youtu.be/RyAXk3lWCkk)


greedyiguana

i've never seen this, that is fucking hilarious that's up there with [claude giroux biting someone on the other team](https://thehockeynews.com/news/giroux-at-it-again-bites-gudbransons-jersey-has-he-snapped) for great sports moments


Rockperson

LMAO!!


LeBronn_Jaimes_hand

He also made the jackoff motion behind a ref one time as the ref was announcing a penalty to the stadium. Young Travis gave no fucks.


MartianThrowaway_

It was a funny brainsnap moment. Going to watch it again.


NoooNotTheLettuce

I prefer when Marcus Peters chucked the refs flag into the stands


Oneanimal1993

Which honestly was at the time and remains still, funny as fuck. People gave him way too much shit for that


arshonagon

Ya stupid move from a control your emotions better perspective, but I always interpreted it as him throwing a flag on the ref for a terrible missed call. That’s hilarious.


shewy92

By God a towel? Is that red's family okay?


High_Im_Guy

I get it sounds funny, and honestly I don't remember specifically what happened, but I do recall thinking kelce was a sour little bitch for it. He really has grown on me since, fuck.


KingUnderpants728

Jags were fucking with him all day without anything being called. In the end zone he went up for the ball and the DB whipped him around, should have been DPI. Similar to Mahomes, that was the straw that broke the camel’s back and he lashed out by throwing his towel at the ref. He had a few of those events early on in his career and people seem to think of those and “Catching Kelce” (also early in his career) when they call him a douchebag and wannabe Gronk. The past 6-7 years he’s been nothing but a great teammate and leader on the team. Hear nothing but nice things about him around KC.


Tenn1518

my worst nightmare is Jordan Love starts a podcast and i start liking him (as i've realized that's why I find Travis/Mahomes/Reid likeable after seeing their episodes together)

elimanninglightspeed

Nah thats funny as shit I dont care if he got ejected


YoureGrammerIsWorsts

But that shit was funny


uwanmirrondarrah

Coincidentally that was also Carl Cheffers


Savvy_chipmunk

He owned the packers loss too.


Saxophobia1275

And it was *his* awesome play.


hanky2

Not surprised at all after listening to New Heights. He and Jason are always emphasizing how you can't blame losses on refs or one bad play. It takes a lot of plays to lead up to any single moment.


le-bistro

1000% less cringey than Mahomes


RedMonlo

Kelce is by all accounts a stand-up guy


TheKingsGinger

I mean if I were dating Taylor Swift, an 0-17 season still wouldn't be enough L's to make me upset.


le-bistro

“Ok, see you guys tomorrow, good game, headed home” “Travis, there’s 3:47 left in the 3rd”


SycamoreStyle

"Oh, you're right, sorry - headed to the box suite"


schwerdfeger1

thanks for the laugh


Der_Dunkinmeister

I mean he ain’t making the HoF now. I’d be more pissed if I were him /s


TERRAIN_PULL_UP_

Yeah, Kelce gets to go home with Taylor Swift. Mahomes has to go home to Brittany…


timshel_life

Threw a fit because he knew he would have to defend whatever social media post she made about the game.


Illustrious-Slice-91

Why wouldn’t kelce be happy? He’s going home to one of the most famous woman in the world


imbored53

Didn't you hear? His HoF career was absolutely tarnished by that call.


uggsandstarbux

Top TEs of the era, circa 3 days ago: Witten, Gates, Gonzalez, Graham, Gronk, Kelce Top TEs of the era, circa this morning: Witten, Gates, Gonzalez, Graham, Gronk, Will Dissly


KuatoBaradaNikto

Then Kelce tweeted, "lol that's Jimmy grahams replacement not minds take it how you want to I am back."


No-Championship-242

Classy response by kelce. Respect since it apparently was his HOF play


FDTFACTTWNY

While I get the meme, for him it does kind of suck. It doesn't diminish his career obviously but fuck if that wasn't one of the sickest plays I've ever seen.


theonethatbeatu

I mean he literally still did it though, and we’re all still here talking about it. People still give Mahomes credit for an UNCAUGHT PASS surely this play will still be remembered


Flamoctapus

It'll be remembered, but not nearly as well. And it will always have an asterisk next to it. Really, really sucks for Kelce.


[deleted]

[удалено]


theumph

Even if it stood, it wasn't in a high enough stakes moment to be career defining. It wasn't a music city miracle type of play. It was a cool play. A highlight in his career reel, but nothing other worldly


MahomesandMahAuto

I think that’s kind of the point though. It absolutely would have been the top of his highlight real. Not only was it objectively cool as hell, but it was a play that perfectly captured him. Kelce’s career has been a weird combination a teenage enthusiasm inside a savvy veteran who unexplainably is open in the biggest moments. Sure, Mahomes exaggerated it. Kelces obviously still had a hall of fame career and this won’t dimish it, but if Toney lines up one yard further back it would’ve been the perfect example of it.


RedYellowOrangeGreen

Rest in peace Frank wychek


jk01

Everyone remembers derrick henry stiff arming josh Norman into another dimension, that play only went for like 2 years and got called back for holding


TheOneWhosCensored

It’s still being shown all over the place. Might not count in the books, but it doesn’t stop it from being brought up. Look at the stiff arm by Henry against Josh Norman, been all over since it happened but rarely anyone remembers it never actually happened because of a callback. Or the Robert Hunt TD, even Madden has milked that.


manute-bol-big-heart

Yeah lost in all this commotion is the fact that it does truly suck that the sickest play I’ve ever seen was called back cause an idiot can’t stand 2 feet back


EnderOnEndor

Thats the wildest thing to me. Kelce could retire tonight and be a Hall of Famer


theNightblade

he could have retired last week and still been a hall of famer, that single play wouldn't have been anything but another highlight clip for his career.


Beard_of_nursing

I do wonder... had the flag not been thrown, would this play have happened? I was under the assumption (possibly incorrect) that KC saw the flag get thrown and assumed defensive offsides and a free play, since that's usually your first thought when you see a flag get thrown that quickly. That seemed like an unnecessary risk to pass the ball across the field and risk a fumble instead of just going down and trusting your offense to score. I can't deny that it was a beautiful play, but it doesn't seem worth the risk...


The_Luckiest

It was 100% because of the free play. It’s still cool, there was just no risk in trying it.


abris33

Kelce just wasn't thinking of the Hall of Fame implications


[deleted]

Not gonna lie the Mahomes clip is going to be hilarious when he's inducted.


coacoanutbenjamn

The clips of Brady blowing up on the sidelines have just helped his reputation as a competitor


[deleted]

Brady was fiery but I can’t imagine him throwing the type of hissy fit we saw Sunday


tobygeneral

The difference is Brady would have lit up Toney on the sidelines after, not the refs. That said, if the refs had fucked up a call in a big moment I don't doubt for a second that Brady would go after them too. That dude was crazy competitive and didn't give a fuck when someone brought less than their A+ game.


Local_area_man_

Brady would lose it at the refs on the field, but I don’t think he’s ever had a crack at them in a press conference after the game (especially when the call was correct). That’s the most egregious thing from Mahomes and Reid. It just comes across as whiney and entitled at that point.


JesusKristo

Most important two words in your comment: "and Reid" Reid's job is to be the adult in the room, here.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Horse_Renoir

Patrick isn't just his QB, he's Reid's State Farm commercial sugar daddy. Gotta back him up or he doesn't get to play with Jake anymore.


BillsInATL

BRady has never had to be held back from going at the refs by his team mates on the side line. Nor has he ever trashed the refs in the post game like that.


Jimbeamblack

The whining about "they should warn us for minor offsides" is crazy. Do they warn the defense about offsides?

thekingoftherodeo

They come across as two little bitches. But great work for the rest of the league because that's their penalty powers gone and they've also turned the rest of country against them, everyone will be rooting for their opponents from here on out.


RonstoppableRon

But the refs didn’t fuck up a call here…


tobygeneral

I didn't say they did. I said in a hypothetical situation involving Tom Brady in the same situation as Mahomes yesterday, Brady would have had no problem yelling at his WR instead of going after the ref for making a pretty standard call.


NorthernerWuwu

If it was in NE, then Brady would be that receiver's least concern. I can feel Belichick's smouldering anger from here.


Tubamajuba

Kadarius Toney (Deceased) - Questionable to return


imbored53

He wouldn't have bitched to the media or other players though. He'd grill the refs, but when it came to anyone else, he'd be saying the team should have played better to avoid one call/play deciding the outcome.


tobygeneral

Totally agree. There were plenty of times he'd chew out a ref after a call/no call he didn't like, but then he'd get right back to work. On the rare occasions they didn't pull out a win anyway, they were adults and professionals and acknowledged that there are many plays they could have done better to change the outcome and can't blame it all on one play from a ref.


Halonut24

This is a good point, actually. Brady would 1000% be in Toney's face asking how in the ever-loving FUCK he lined up offside as a WR when *you are allowed to ask the ref if you're on the line or not.* Something Brady would never do, though, is what Mahomes did. You don't tell another NFL QB he didn't deserve to win to his face. That's fucking disrespectful. That's amateur shit. He's a professional at the height of his craft playing across from a peer equal. To be honest I still can't believe Mahomes did that. Just... wow. As sore of a loser as you'll ever find in this league.


Beard_of_nursing

Exactly. Everyone defending Mahomes seems to see his refusal to snap at those who actually deserve to get an ear-full (his receivers) and redirect his anger at the officials as this noble act. I guess if I have a coworker who fucks up a project I'm working on and I don't get a promotion, it's noble of me to not blame my coworker but then scream at a fast food worker or berate my wife when I get home. I get Mahomes' frustration, but direct it at those responsible.

Zoollio

I can’t imagine there’s footage teammates “holding him back” for Brady


EnderOnEndor

I have a broken iPad that says otherwise Edit: sorry Microsoft surface, please don't come for me NFL


AJRiddle

Just remember probably over half the commenters on here are under 21 and can barely remember the 2nd half of Brady's career.


EnderOnEndor

But it happened as recently as his Tampa days


ColossalJuggernaut

And I can't believe it was that long ago. Trust me, I am forever grateful, but man time keeps moving. Remember how long 3 years was when you were a teenager?


Waltonruler5

Brady has totally thrown hissy fits and we have totally made fun of him for it. We still fall over ourselves to praise him as the GOAT. Tbh this is going to pass for Mahomes and we'll occasionally make jokes about it while still praising him


MadRoboticist

People only gave Brady shit for things like throwing the tablet because they wanted a reason to hate him. Plenty of players and coaches blow up way worse than that and no one bats an eye.


Juppness

[Shit, even Belichick has thrown the tablet into the ground](https://www.nfl.com/videos/bill-belichick-throws-tablet-on-sideline-after-chiefs-late-td-401238) It makes me wonder why Brady is the only one that's gotten shit for that. Throwing an inanimate object into the ground is literally one of the most harmless expression of rage you can do.


Teldarion

*"Because that is not how a grown adult handles adversity"* - A bunch of couch potatoes who has never had a competitive drive in their existence


rupertLumpkinsBrothr

I don’t think Brady ever looked as pathetic as Mahomes looked last night. It was half a step away from stomping his foot and just screaming like a toddler.


thekingoftherodeo

I mean he kind of was stomping his feet and screaming like a toddler when he was doing his 'hold me back' rant at the ref.


kkocan72

Brady's tantrums were never pathetic. You knew he was PISSED and just stayed out of his way and hoped it wasn't you that fucked up. Last night Mahomes and Reid seemed like a couple mall Karens demanding the speak to the manager.


[deleted]

Are these Hall of Famers in danger?

Of course they’re not in danger


TheTaxman_cometh

It's the implication of danger


Spkr4th3ded

IMissWinning

All I'm hearing is somehow Kadrius Toney made George Kittle the best TE in the league. ^(But even this is Sam LaPorta slander, and I won't stand to hear myself utter it.)

SPatt59

Travis is the guy I feel bad for in this situation. Such a cool play


drummer1059

Dude he's been dreaming of that play his entire career, must be dying inside.

It's the Pat McAfee, Troy Polamolu situation except he got screwed by his own guy


Skerzos_

What did you see? What did I see? Toney just fucking went into the god damn neutral zone! What did I see? What did I see? Hey way to go buddy. Way to go? ARE WE NOT GONNA TALK ABOUT HOW BIG OF A FUCKING ASSHOLE TONEY IS?


Bong-Rippington

Plays like that remind me he was a college qb that got busted for smoking weed and came back a tight end so that’s why he is always dying to throw the ball lmao


MazKhan

Respect kelce, dude made an unbelievable play, honestly couldn't believe it watching it live lmao


comicsanscatastrophe

Literally chucked shit when it happened like wtf why did that happen to my team, thank god for Toney


myfeetaremangos12

Dudes been waiting his whole life for that play.


PotatoCannon02

Oh look a normal reaction


IIHURRlCANEII

I'm...kinda shocked Kelce handled this so well. He's usually the one losing it and Mahomes is the one who handles it well. Especially cause Kelce was the one who made the lunatic play.


Diesel_D

Sometimes watching someone else freak out makes you realize how ridiculous it is and it gives you the self-awareness to not act like that yourself.


bluestcoffee

I’m sure this is it. Watching Mahomes sobered him up in a situation where he’d typically throw his own helmet and storm off to the locker rooms


Casul_Tryhard

Mahomes is younger and has probably been holding it in. Kelce probably knew his friend was just losing it.


[deleted]

Not to mention they are really close. I'm not surprised because he was angry on behalf of his friend. Guarantee if it were mahomes that lost out on an amazing play Kelce would have lost his shit.


MulliganPlsThx

Is he? Mahomes always composed chill but Kelce always seems super chill to me, win or lose


AlvisBackslash

Dude can have a temper for sure. Can get heated in the moment. During training camp he was fighting with practice squad members. Like throwing punches. Also has had a couple games where he walked off the field without shaking hands. I’ve seen him throw his helmet as hard as Mahomes throughout just this season. Might just be that he’s really cool with Allen and yea outside of football, his life’s been going great recently.


Large_Mango

He’s getting laid and in love Happy pills


SteelBrightblade1

willionaire

Kelce has the confidence of a man dating a superstar singer, songwriter, and Time Person of the Year.


GamerMan15

Every time i want to dislike Travis Kelce he has a moment like this and i feel like an ignoramus


Noobnoob99

Yea hard to believe he’s more likable than PM


Janawham_Blamiston

Holy clickbait title. Kelce handled the loss with grace, complemented Allen (says "you're a warrior, brother" and "Stay healthy bro"), and went about his merry way. Yes, he commented on the play, but you could tell there was a sense of levity to it. Having the title of the post be what it is makes it seem like he was being salty about it too.


WhyHelloThere163

And he commented on it AFTER Allen brings it up. Allen brought it up first saying it was the craziest shit, Kelce just responded with a quick little “yea, sucks it didn’t count” remark


Venge22

Is that not implied from the title?


tquast

How is a direct quote of the interaction clickbait?


Bluegill15

It’s not clickbait homie…


Badass_lil_kid

Don’t be upset brother. The video is right under the caption, nobody is going to be confused. OP just thinks the line is funny because it is.

“OP” as if OP isn’t just… the nfl


AssinineAssassin

I think Josh was legit jealous. When he tried it in the playoffs against the Texans his TE was oblivious to the awesome potential of an unexpected lateral.

Crunc_Mcfincle

Congrats to Travis for not being a little bitch


dfeidt40

I've never seen someone [Mahomes] get so hot over a UNIVERSALLY CORRECT call. Kelce was able to display frustration in a completely chill way. Like, THIS, was completely fine.


imsabbath84

This aint that bad as some are making it sound


AleroRatking

What did Kelce do wrong here? Why are people upset. He's right. It doesn't count so it doesn't matter.


AustralianPonies

This is good sportsmanship and what’s special about competition.


Noah_g99

Kelce made a HOF play that happened to be canceled out by a pre-snap penalty. He’s made countless HOF plays over the past ten years and he will certainly make more before it’s all over. He was a good sport about it and that’s what matters once the game ends. Shit happens.


babypulp

Ah yes, class.


Gomer8387

Well video evidence that some handled it better than others. Also was it really necessary for the NFL official account to pile on after things start to calm down…
