"You don't forget how to catch": Max Kellerman calls out Travis Kelce for costly game-ending mistake in Chiefs vs. Texans

Travis Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs suffered a brutal 20-10 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 14 on Sunday night. In the fourth quarter, Kelce made a costly error when he failed to catch a pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes fired a routine pass to Kelce, but it bobbled out of the tight end's hands and popped into the air, handing Houston what happened to be a game-sealing interception.

On Monday, analyst Max Kellerman discussed Kelce's costly drop against the Texans.

"When I see a guy like Kelce drop a pass like last night, for example, the one that hit him in both hands," Kellerman said on his "Game Over" podcast (19:16). "I understand the guy losing his reflexes, losing this, losing that, you don't forget how to catch. What I'm saying is it's odd to me, I understand when your reflexes go, when your legs go, but the guy who is short-handed in critical situations, you don't forget how to catch."

Kelce had just one reception for eight yards against Houston. It was his least productive effort of the season.

This season, Kelce has been one of the better-performing offensive players for the Chiefs, having posted 727 yards and five touchdowns on 60 receptions.

After two straight losses, the Chiefs' playoff hopes are hanging on by a thread.

Travis Kelce has been with the Chiefs ever since they drafted him in the third round in 2013. The TE has been to five Super Bowls and won three.

However, Kelce is in the final year of the two-year, $34,250,000 extension he signed in April 2024. There have been no suggestions that he will sign an extension.

There have been rumors that Kelce could be playing his final year in the NFL before potentially retiring. However, the TE has yet to confirm his future plans.
