The quarterback-tight end chemistry came under major prominence after fans saw the Brady-Gronk relationship. Although, there’s more than just them in the league. Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce have one of the ideal, if not the best, partnerships in the NFL. Their effective interpersonal communication skills led them to some major playoff triumphs. However, Mahomes once nearly blew up their victory against the Bills.

Under Patrick Mahomes, the Kansas City Chiefs have tasted major success in the past. The franchise can put some big numbers during games, and also rallied for a couple of Super Bowl appearances. The most exciting factor was the nail-biting calls at the end of the plays, something the franchise has made a name for.

He mentions, “I remember the Bills called a timeout. I’m looking at Pat and I’m just trying to be discreet as possible to tell him, ‘Hey, if they play it like that, I’m wide open’. We get up to the line of scrimmage and Pat is yelling at me to do it. I’m just sitting there looking at him like, ‘Ssshhh be quiet, you are telling the whole stadium right now that you’re throwing me the ball’”.

The KC Chiefs have had some extensive NFL seasons. This also includes multiple AFC Championship appearances and a Super Bowl victory.

This is something that the fans saw during the 36-33 overtime playoff game. When you’re going against the most effective defense lineups among all NFL franchises, you need to come up with a plan. That’s when Kelce and Mahomes deviated from the plot, with the TE picking up the ball up the middle of the pitch for a 25-yard benefit. This eventually led to a victory, setting the match against the underdogs, the Cincinnati Bengals for the AFC title.
