Overview

• Kelce’s fourth-quarter bobble near the goal line was intercepted by Eagles rookie Andrew Mukuba for his first NFL pick, and Philadelphia closed out a 20-17 win.
• On his New Heights podcast, Kelce said the play “should have never happened” and “cost us big time,” adding he must get his head around faster and won’t let Patrick Mahomes take the blame.
• Mahomes initially said he threw the pass “a tad too early,” then on Wednesday emphasized the team is not asking too much of Kelce; Andy Reid said they will keep an eye on the veteran’s workload.
• Shannon Sharpe labeled Kelce’s technique “lazy” on Nightcap, reflecting wider media criticism, though Kelce still led Kansas City with 61 receiving yards against Philadelphia.
• Kansas City is 0-2 for the first time since 2014 and visits the Giants on Sunday night seeking its first win, while outside chatter about reducing Kelce’s role remains speculative with no official decision.
