Things seem to have gone from bad to worse for the Kansas City Chiefs, who recently lost their NFL bout against the Houston Texans. It was also a game to forget for Travis Kelce, who had a rare, underwhelming outing, which made him drop a critical pass from Chiefs’ star quarterback, Patrick Mahomes. The veteran tight end was visibly distraught with his error, and pictures of his dismayed reaction have since gone viral on the internet.
Travis Kelce spotted in almost tears after drop
On Sunday night, December 7, the Chiefs lost a crucial match vs the Texans, with the game ending 10-20 in favor of Houston. The fixture also featured a costly mistake from Travis Kelce, which occurred in the dying embers of the fourth quarter.
With the game set at 10-17 and just minutes remaining on the clock, Patrick Mahomes supplied a sublime pass to Kelce in hopes of kick-starting a comeback. The Chiefs had set their camp just nine yards from their own end zone, giving Kelce a small window to quickly score some much-needed points for his side. As the ball reached the three-time Super Bowl champion near the 25-yard line, many assumed Kansas had secured a first down.
However, due to the pressure from the Texans, Travis Kelce ended up dropping the ball and giving it away to opposing linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair. Dejected, the Cincinnati Bearcats alum proceeded to wait out the remainder of the game on the sidelines. Kelce, almost in tears, sported a disappointed look as he watched the Chiefs concede a late field goal, bringing the match to a close at 10-20.

The Chiefs have now recorded just six wins out of 13 NFL games so far, making it nearly impossible for them to progress to the playoffs.
