KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- His inclination for showy personal demonstrations and his reality-TV persona can obscure a truth about Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce: He’s a student of the game.
Kelce spends a lot of time studying the all-time great players at his position in hopes of improving his game. So Kelce, who had his fourth straight game with 100-plus receiving yards in Thursday night’s 21-13 victory over the Oakland Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium, has a healthy appreciation for what he’d accomplished.
Kelce is the second Chiefs player with four consecutive 100-yard games, joining former tight end Tony Gonzalez, who did it during the 2000 season.
