Travis Kelce stiff arming Panthers defender’s face into the turf is a work of art
By Mark Powell
Travis Kelce has no regard for any defender’s face
The Panthers didn’t see this coming, and neither did the general public. Kelce is arguably the best tight end in football, though George Kittle would like to settle that argument once and for all when he’s back healthy. As one of the primary targets for Patrick Mahomes, Kelce gets plenty of opportunities and makes the most of them in the open field.
When Kelce caught a deep pass down the sidelines against the Panthers, he provided a tremendous example of what he does best at the position — yards after the catch. Oh, how he loves rumbling down field, padding Mahomes’ stats in the process. Kelce did not care that every Carolina Panther has a family. Kelce had no regard for human life, shoving their faces in the dirt, just to make them think a little longer about the consequences of their decision to get in between him and the end zone.
Kelce’s stiff arm was a signature moment in the Chiefs comeback
The Chiefs were in trouble against the Panthers, but that’s a distant memory given their recent offensive surge. First, Clyde Edwards-Helaire caught a touchdown pass from Mahomes, and then Tyreek Hill followed suit for the QB’s 100th career score through the air.
