Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid get brutally honest when talking about Travis Kelce's record-setting touchdown pass on Sunday.
In their Wild Card round against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Kelce became the only player in NFL history to throw a touchdown pass, catch for a TD and record over 100 receiving yards in a single playoff game. He accomplished the most crucial aspect of the feat early in the fourth quarter when Andy Reid devised a plan to have him throw the ball two yards away from the end zone.
Sure enough, Kelce didn't disappoint and completed the play with a short pass to Byron Pringle.
Despite his achievement, though, Mahomes and Reid couldn't help but troll Kelce.
“His past record is terrible . . . He sure did a nice job with that one,” Reid said of the Chiefs tight end, per Adam Teicher of ESPN.
Unlike Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes did seem to poke fun at himself after Trevis Kelce didn't pass the football to him. After all, Mahomes was open on the left flank and actually thought he's going to get the ball. Considering the 32-year-old's “terrible record,” it's no wonder why the Chiefs instructed him not to pass to their starting QB.
“I thought I was open in the flat, but they told him not to throw me the ball,” Mahomes hilariously shared.
But hey, Kelce got the record and that's what is important. Hopefully, he can replicate such production when they move on to the Divisional Round.
