Derwin James broke out the wrestling moves on Travis Kelce in the most awe-inspiring way.
During the late stages of the third quarter of Thursday Night Football between the Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes and crew were marching down the field down 17-14. On second and six, Mahomes hit his favorite target in Kelce, who was wide open at the 11 yard line.
With Kelce making for the end zone, James stood up the tight end at the two yard line, flexing him down with an incredible body slam to stop him from scoring a touchdown. Seriously, this is one awesome tackle.

If you tackled a QB the same way James brought down Kelce you’d get life in prison #TNFonPrime
