Travis Kelce and the Chiefs fell to 8–4 on the season with a tough, 27–19, loss to the Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday night.
The Chiefs seemed to have a few chances to put themselves in position in the final minute to get in the end zone and try to tie the game, but a few tough no-calls didn’t go their way, including one that definitely looked like pass interference on the Packers.
Kelce was asked after the game what he thought of the officials’ not making a call on that play, and the star tight end took the high road, saying, “I ain’t gonna blame this on anybody but ourselves.”

Never blame anyone but yourselves, because at the end of the day the offense scored 19 points. https://t.co/53t4YNVJLq
