However, with just three more games left in the regular season, the time for Kelce to make a dent in his franchise’s history, and the league is coming to a close. And after the game vs the Patriots, he established a four-game streak with no touchdowns. Is this what wiped the smile off of Travis Kelce’s beau’s face?

Taylor Swift cannot believe Kelce did this!

After the ball was snapped to 2x Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes, he passed it to his favorite target and his best chum off the field, Travis Kelce. The TE was perfectly positioned inside the end zone for a touchdown that would extend the Chiefs’ lead. No one predicted that anything could’ve gone wrong. But it did.

Patriots defender, Myles Bryant, pushed him even before the ball touched his hands. And Kelce went crashing to the ground, and the ball fell out-of-bounds. The camera then quickly panned to Taylor, showing her rising up and screaming, “The f**k!”. Every Chiefs’ fan was hoping that the referees would throw a flag for pass interference. But again, nothing happened.

Luckily for Mahomes and the team, a mistake made by the Patriots’ QB made up for the lost touchdown.

In the next drive, Zappe threw the ball, which was intercepted by linebacker Willie Gay. He then rushed with the ball before being tackled near the 7-yard line. The offensive teams took over, and Mahomes found Clyde Edwards-Helaire and, “Touchdown Kansas City!” Even though the team secured a victory, Kelce’s performance was surely a surprise.

In the first two quarters, Kelce struggled to bring his A-game. In an earlier incident, he had failed to catch another pass, which would’ve resulted in a touchdown for the Chiefs. At the end of the first half, he had just three catches on five targets for 13 yards. With three games remaining for the regular season to end, will Kelce extend his no-touchdown record or will he succeed in snapping the streak in the next game?
