Travis Kelce summed up Kansas City’s disappointing 20-14 loss to the Raiders on Christmas Day in a straightforward manner during the latest episode of the “New Heights” podcast.
“We handed that team a win on Christmas, We literally played Santa and gave them a present.” : Kelce expressed on Wednesday, as reported by ESPN.com.
Kelce’s frustration is palpable as he discusses the Chiefs’ recent struggles, where a lack of offensive rhythm has been a defining factor in their performances. This recurring theme has haunted the defending Super Bowl champions throughout the 2023 season, preventing them from maintaining the offensive consistency that was once their trademark. With just two games remaining in the regular season and their division lead suddenly at risk, the Chiefs understand the urgency to rectify their issues

“It’s a frustrating experience right now, Every single day, we’re going in here and fixing it. I promise you guys. : Kelce admitted.
“It’s not just one guy, It’s not just me playing poorly. It’s not just us struggling to establish the run game. It’s not just us lacking synchronization in the passing game. Everybody’s in this together. At some point, everybody isn’t being accountable.” : he emphasized.
The frustration has been evident on Patrick Mahomes’ face for weeks, if not months. It has now permeated the entire team, reaching a new level on Monday when Kelce returned to the sideline and expressed his frustration by slamming his helmet on the ground, prompting head coach Andy Reid to intervene.
