Travis Kelce's Slow Start Raises Questions Amid Off-Field Distractions

Concerns grow over Kelce's focus on football as Chiefs tight end struggles to produce early in the season.

Travis Kelce has recorded only 8 catches for 69 yards and no touchdowns in the first three games of the 2024 NFL season.
Commentators like Mike Francesa and Rodney Harrison suggest Kelce's off-field activities, including his relationship with Taylor Swift, may be affecting his performance.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid attribute Kelce's reduced stats to increased defensive focus on him, opening opportunities for other players like Rashee Rice.
Kelce himself acknowledged the slow start but emphasized his focus on winning rather than personal stats in his 'New Heights' podcast.
Despite his struggles, Kelce remains a key player, participating in 77% of offensive snaps, and his impact is expected to grow as the season progresses.
