If the Seahawks are going to upset the Chiefs today, they’ll have to find a way to slow down Travis Kelce. Indisputably the best tight end in the sport today, Kelce has posted over 1,000 receiving yards in eight straight seasons. This year he’s up to 1,144 yards and 12 touchdowns on 91 catches.
Geno Smith certainly has respect for Kelce and it appears the feeling is mutual. The two shared some love for eachother on Twitter last night. It began with Eagles center Jason Kelce teasing his brother on their podcast:
Why is no one talking about the biggest revenge game of the season: @tkelce vs @GenoSmith3 😂 pic.twitter.com/vav745Obrz

Smith joked that he’ll have to line up at safety today to settle it:
@tkelce I might have to line up at safety so we can settle this once and for all 😂 https://t.co/Hnb4N0699F

Kelce replied that it’ll be tough enough the way Geno has been throwing the ball this year.
😂😂😂 Chill out! It’s already gonna hard enough to get a dub the way your slingin it this year! 🙌🏻 https://t.co/5Si0sa0GYI

Smith replied with some more love and respect.

Seattle’s best shot at stopping Kelce would have been covering him with safety Ryan Neal, but he’s been ruled out due to a knee injury. Johnathan Abram and Teez Tabor will be rotating reps in his place.
