Travis Kelce’s absence from the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 1 matchup against the Detroit Lions was a disappointing development this week, but quarterback Patrick Mahomes doesn’t seem too concerned.
Instead of dwelling on the loss of his All-Pro tight end, Mahomes has adapted as best he can, and found Kelce’s understudy, veteran Blake Bell, for a touchdown on a pretty sidearm pass late in the second quarter.

Plays like this are what make Mahomes so special. A precious few other quarterbacks can make this throw in practice, let alone in a real game. Mahomes makes it look easy, and that’s why he is the NFL’s reigning MVP.
With this marvelous effort, Mahomes has Kansas City in a position to take a two-score lead after halftime when they receive the second-half kickoff. Watch for Mahomes to continue spreading the ball around to the Chiefs’ unsung offensive heroes as he attempts to lift Kansas City to victory in Week 1.
