Travis Kelce's explanation for why he didn't run right route on key play before FG is so good

Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce have been teammates for a while now and have put up big numbers and won a Super Bowl together. All that time has made them very comfortable with each other on the field and they often know what the other is going to do without them having to say it.

Well, that relationship paid off big time before the huge play that set up the game-tying field goal at the end of the fourth quarter in yesterday’s insane playoff against the Bills as Kelce let Mahomes know he wasn’t going to run the route that was called for on the play. He saw something in the defense and let his QB know that and the rest is history.

Kelce’s explanation of his decision and of Mahomes yelling “DO IT” at the line of scrimmage is too good. He talks after Mahomes in this video:

You can hear Mahomes here yelling “DO IT, KELC, DO IT! DO IT!”

Brilliant.

Kelce picked up 25 yards on the play, the Chiefs kicked the field goal, and then Kelce won it in OT with a TD catch.
