The Kansas City Chiefs are known for their high-octane offense that has yielded Super Bowl championships in recent seasons. Usually, head coach Andy Reid is the figure getting creative to help the team remain on the cutting edge in the NFL, but against the Denver Broncos on Thursday night, All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce was the innovative presence.
On Kansas City’s first drive on offense, Kelce caught a pass from Patrick Mahomes, and instead of cutting upfield, decided that fellow tight end Noah Gray should get the ball in space. After securing the reception, the former quarterback pitched the ball back to Gray, who ran for a first down to keep the Chiefs in rhythm.

Plays like this are a great example of why Kansas City’s games are must-watch television, regardless of any celebrities who may be in attendance week to week.
Watch for the Mahomes-to-Kelce connection to continue bearing fruit in this matchup.
