"That sh*t sucks": Travis Kelce gets real about incomplete pass from Patrick Mahomes in Chiefs' 28-21 loss to Bills

On Wednesday, Travis Kelce reacted to the incomplete pass that came toward him from Patrick Mahomes in the 28-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 9. The Kansas City Chiefs were looking to close up the game’s scoreline before halftime when they missed the big opportunity.

With seven seconds left in the second quarter and the Bills leading 21-10, the Chiefs had the possession on 3rd and goal. Mahomes found Kelce open in the endzone and directed the ball towards him. However, the ball missed him and instead went on to hit the cameraman.

Speaking on the “New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce” podcast, the Chiefs tight end expressed his regret about the situation, especially after the game ended with a one-score difference. The moment could have determined a lot for the Chiefs in the game, but it wasn't meant to be.

“That sh*t sucks when you don't come away with a victory out there,” Kelce said. “Because they let you have it, man. And it's frustrating. It's frustrating, especially when you think that you put it on yourself.”

“I'm looking at this score right here, 21-28, and if I find a way to get my head and hands around on the pass that Pat threw to me in the end zone right before half, yeah, I feel like we have a better chance at getting a field goal there late instead of a touchdown.”

Travis Kelce missed the chance to break the Chiefs' touchdown record

Missing that opportunity to score against the Bills had even further implications for Travis Kelce aside from losing. It denied him the opportunity to become the Chiefs' all-time touchdown leader after tying with Priest Holmes with 83 against the Washington Commanders.

The tight end commented on the historic moments of sharing the Chiefs’ touchdown record following the 28-7 win over the Commanders last week.

“I just cherish these moments, man, being able to play at Arrowhead," Kelce said. "This place is special, man, and I love it here. In terms of the historical stuff, I'm still looking at the next game and the next catch and trying to get better.”

Travis Kelce was selected in the third round of the 2013 NFL draft after a five-year college career at Cincinnati. He's gone on to become one of the franchise's best players in history, leading them to multiple Super Bowls. He will look to have the touchdown record against the Denver Broncos after the team's bye.
