Overview

  • Kelce said on the New Heights podcast that the scary head-first landing resulted in a thigh charley horse rather than a neck issue.
  • The play occurred near the goal line after Rock Ya-Sin flipped Kelce in the second quarter, and Kansas City scored on the next snap.
  • The Chiefs shared a slow-motion clip on Instagram, Patrick Mahomes teased Kelce in a repost, and Jason Kelce kept the jokes going on the show and on X.
  • A third-quarter diving catch that contacted the turf remained disputed, with Jason Kelce questioning control as Detroit did not challenge before the next snap.
  • Kelce finished with six receptions for 78 yards in the 30–17 win, bringing his season totals to 28 catches for 321 yards and two touchdowns, and he is expected to play versus the Raiders.
