Travis Kelce Downplays Head-First Fall After Chiefs’ Win Over Lions

The tight end said on his podcast the play left him with a charley horse, not a neck issue.

Overview

  • Kelce said on New Heights that the awkward landing looked worse than it felt and described it as a charley horse with no significant neck problem.
  • Kansas City beat Detroit 30-17 in Week 6, and Kelce logged six catches for 78 yards to reach 28 receptions for 321 yards and two touchdowns this season.
  • The Chiefs posted a slow-motion video of the fall on Instagram, which Patrick Mahomes reshared while jokingly checking on Kelce.
  • Jason Kelce said he doubted Travis maintained full control on a debated catch yet believed a review likely would have upheld it under current rules, with Detroit unable to challenge before the next snap.
  • The game’s intensity drew attention for a postgame exchange in which Lions safety Brian Branch appeared to snub Mahomes before hitting JuJu Smith-Schuster, a moment Mahomes addressed afterward.
