Overview
- Kelce became the Chiefs’ all-time touchdown leader with his 84th score, which briefly put Kansas City ahead before a 22-19 loss to the Broncos on Nov. 16.
- Calling the milestone “soured,” Kelce urged teammates to stop “selfish” play and said, “It’s about time we put it together,” with the team sitting at 5-5.
- Analytics frame Week 12 versus Indianapolis as decisive, with a win pushing playoff odds to roughly 68% and a loss dropping them to about 35%.
- Kelce said he would take the 2025 roster over last year’s AFC champion squad, arguing talent isn’t the issue and execution late in games has lagged.
- Anonymous rival coaches questioned Kelce’s peak form, yet he remains Kansas City’s leading receiver (50 catches, 631 yards, four TDs) after a 9-91-1 line against Denver.
