The Kansas City Chiefs have secured themselves a 14-point lead in their Week 5 tilt against the Minnesota Vikings. All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce left the matchup with an injury late in the second quarter just before halftime, but managed to work his way back onto the field to score a touchdown.
The impressive catch came near the goal line after Kelce helped the Chiefs offense matriculate downfield in his first drive back after being banged up earlier in the game.
In signature Travis Kelce fashion, he found the soft spot in Minnesota’s defense and made the Vikings pay when he reeled in a well-thrown ball from Patrick Mahomes.
Kelce TD, easy money 💰😮💨

Plays like this are typical of the Mahomes-Kelce connection and are a great sign for Kansas City’s offense, which has struggled to find its footing in recent weeks.
If Kelce continues to play in this matchup, expect Mahomes to keep looking his way as the Chiefs search for their fourth win of the 2023 season.
