bv. Patrick Mahomes Praises Travis Kelce After Chiefs’ Commanding 28–7 Win Over Washington Commanders
In a dominant 28–7 victory over the Washington Commanders, the Kansas City Chiefs once again showcased their offensive power — and at the heart of it was none other than Travis Kelce, whose brilliance left fans and teammates in awe.
Patrick Mahomes, who threw for 327 yards and three touchdowns, couldn’t help but praise his longtime teammate after the game. Kelce hauled in six receptions for 99 yards and a touchdown, playing a pivotal role in Kansas City’s offensive rhythm. But for Mahomes, it wasn’t just Kelce’s production that stood out — it was his leadership, intelligence, and consistency.
“Travis doesn’t just play with pure strength,” Mahomes said. “He plays with his mind and his heart. The way he leads the team, the way he makes those clutch catches when we need him most — that’s what makes him great. That’s why I’m lucky to have him as my teammate.”
Kelce’s touchdown grab was one of several key moments that demonstrated his ability to rise under pressure — something Mahomes said has become second nature for the veteran tight end.
“The best part about Travis is how composed he is,” Mahomes continued. “He’s been doing it for so long, and he just knows when to turn it on. That’s what makes him a legend.”
While the Chiefs’ victory was a total team effort, Mahomes made sure to emphasize Kelce’s impact beyond the box score.
“When you’ve got a guy like Travis on your team, it makes everything easier,” Mahomes said. “He’s not just a weapon on the field — he’s a leader. He’s our guy, and we know he’ll come through when it matters most.”
After the game, Kelce tried to shift the attention back to the team, brushing off Mahomes’ compliments. But his quarterback wouldn’t let it go unnoticed.
“That’s my guy,” Mahomes said with a grin. “He’s the heart and soul of this offense, and we wouldn’t be where we are without him.”
As the Chiefs continue their march through the season, one thing is certain — as long as Mahomes and Kelce share the field, Kansas City’s offense will remain one of the most dangerous in the NFL.
