Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs teammates make it very clear how they feel about his situation… See More

Several Kansas City Chiefs players were spotted donning Travis Kelce t-shirts during their warm-up for the Week 4 game against the Los Angeles Chargers, showing solidarity with their superstar pass-catcher.

Kelce has faced criticism for his early performances in the 2024 season, having played three games without scoring a touchdown and only managing 69 yards from eight catches. However, the tight end insists he’s still the same player.

Ahead of the clash with the Chargers, where Kelce was keen to make a significant impact, several Chiefs players wore the T-shirt in support.

Earlier in the week, Kelce told reporters: “I think this year stats may say something different, but at the same time you’ll see the same person inside this building, and that’s all I really care about. I’m my own worst critic. Everything outside of this building is just noise.”

“I’m fortunate. I’ve had the success in the past and I realised that the ball can’t always go to one person. It can’t always get in my hands, but at the same time, I got all the trust in Patrick Mahomes to make the right decision, and he’s been making great decisions. We might not be putting up as many points as we want to, but at the same time we’re 3-0 and we’re doing something right.”

Mahomes himself has acknowledged that defenses have often double-covered Kelce, effectively sidelining him at times. This strategy has allowed Rashee Rice to flourish, who currently ranks among the league leaders in receiving yards.

After his third game of the season, Travis Kelce appeared ‘hunched and subdued’, according to body language expert Judi James, who spoke to Mirror U. S. Sports. James observed: “Hunched and uncharacteristically subdued-looking here, Travis appears to be in reflective mood in this moment of what appears to be unhappiness.

“His eye expression looks undeniably sad and the quick tongue-poke gesture suggests dislike, disapproval or even disgust. Is he crying? His hand to eye gesture could just be a quick rubbing ritual but it does also allow for tears but if he is wiping a tear he’s doing it in a way that would suggest he’s desperately trying to cover up.

“His finger rubs the top of his closed lid to suggest he’s just clearing or scratching although there is then a subtle dabbing or rubbing lower down on the cheek afterward.

“This body language could of course be caused by many reasons like: the game if its going badly or if he’s off-form; a moment of exhaustion; a romance-based Swifty-rift; separation anxiety caused by the fact Taylor was AWOL or even just the way the wind is destroying his new hairdo.”
