In the aftermath of the Kansas City Chiefs’ tough 20-10 loss to the Houston Texans, all eyes turned to Travis Kelce. The star tight end was visibly frustrated after a critical drop that cost his team a chance at a win, sparking waves of criticism from fans and analysts alike. However, despite the setback, Kelce’s supporters have rallied around him, reaffirming their belief in his legacy and future contributions to the Chiefs’ success.
“Fans know better than anyone: Kelce is one of the greatest to ever play,” said one dedicated Chiefs fan on social media. “One bad game won’t shake his legacy. We’ve seen the highs and we’ll stand by him through the lows. The legend isn’t finished yet.”
For years, Kelce has been the cornerstone of the Chiefs’ offensive success, providing a steady hand as the team ascended to elite status under quarterback Patrick Mahomes. With multiple Pro Bowl appearances and a Super Bowl title, Kelce’s resume speaks for itself. Despite his disappointing performance against the Texans, it’s clear that the fanbase remains unwavering in their support for the future Hall of Famer.
Kelce’s reputation has been built not just on his on-field dominance but on his leadership, work ethic, and passion for the game. While the drop in Sunday’s loss to Houston was a tough pill to swallow, it doesn’t change the fact that Kelce has been instrumental in the Chiefs’ success for years. Fans have come to appreciate his consistency, his big-game mentality, and his ability to perform under pressure.
“I think people forget how much Travis Kelce has done for the Chiefs over the years,” said another fan. “One mistake doesn’t define him. He’s carried this team, and we’re not going to turn our backs on him after one bad game. He’ll come back stronger.”
This unwavering loyalty from the Chiefs’ fanbase is a testament to the respect Kelce has earned over his remarkable career. In a sport where one mistake can often overshadow years of greatness, Kelce’s supporters are choosing to focus on the big picture. His legacy is not defined by a single misstep; it’s built on the countless game-changing performances, leadership moments, and unforgettable plays he has delivered over the years.
As the Chiefs move forward in their pursuit of another playoff berth, Kelce’s ability to shake off this setback will be crucial. With the season still in play, fans are confident that this minor hiccup will only serve as motivation for the tight end to return to form.
“It’s been a tough season for a lot of teams, and we know Kelce is going to bounce back,” said a longtime Chiefs supporter. “The legend isn’t finished. We’re still all in on him.”
Steelers Get First Real Look at Shedeur Sanders’ NFL Decision
The Pittsburgh Steelers still have three weeks before they play the Cleveland Browns for the final time this season, but they got an announcement that adds a little something extra to their AFC North showdown.
The Steelers versus Browns Week 17 game could help decide the winner of the division, or set up a dramatic ending in Pittsburgh against the Baltimore Ravens. But during the Cleveland game, the Steelers will get an opportunity to see if they made the right quarterback call during the NFL Draft.
The Browns announced that Shedeur Sanders will remain the starting quarterback for the rest of their 2025 season, ending talks of Deshaun Watson returning or Dillon Gabriel taking back over.
The first time Pittsburgh and Cleveland faced off, Gabriel was the passer, completing 29 of 52 passes for 221 yards as the Steelers won 23-9. This time, Sanders will get an opportunity to host the Steelers, and maybe show a team that passed on him that they made a mistake.
Steelers Tested The Waters With Sanders
Let’s go back to the 2025 NFL Draft. Everyone was trying to figure out where Sanders was going to land in the first round, with the Steelers as the most-likely pick. Pittsburgh held the Colorado star for a visit just before the draft and many believed it was a sign that they were going to take a chance on the QB with their first-round selection.
Instead, the Steelers passed on Sanders for Derrick Harmon. Then, they passed on him in the third round for Kaleb Johnson, and again in the fourth round for Jack Sawyer.
Sanders eventually went to the Browns in the fifth round, sparking plenty of conversation and a lot of backlash against teams who passed on him. Considering many thought he was a first-round pick heading into the draft, there’s a lot of belief that Cleveland got a steal in the later picks.
We’ll See
Now, the Steelers get their first look at the quarterback they passed on. Sanders isn’t going up against Pittsburgh’s rookie in Will Howard, who they selected in the sixth round, but against Aaron Rodgers.
If Sanders had ended up in Pittsburgh, Rodgers would’ve been the starter anyway. But the rookie gets a chance to prove to Mike Tomlin and company that he should’ve been their next franchise passer. A test that, if Sanders passes, could cause issues for the Steelers’ playoff hopes.
Sanders is 1-2 as a starter, completing 54 of 103 passes for 769 yards, five touchdowns and three interceptions.
Pittsburgh travels to Cleveland in Week 17 to play at Huntington Bank Field.
