Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs got a thrilling 30-24 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and remain as the only undefeated team in the NFL. DeAndre Hopkins proved why he will be a key factor toward the playoffs with two touchdowns.
After the Chiefs lost Hollywood Brown and Rashee Rice with injuries, Brett Veach and Andy Reid knew a trade for a wide receiver had to be done. Although they had Cooper Kupp as another option, Hopkins was the final choice.
Now, Patrick Mahomes looks ready to take this offense to another level and the Chiefs are clear favorites to win a third consecutive Super Bowl. In this scenario, Kelce couldn’t hide his excitement.
