Chiefs Travis Kelce after OT loss: Chiefs 'have to man up' - Page 3

The Kansas City Chiefs lost their fourth game in five tries after Sunday's overtime defeat at the hands of the struggling New York Giants.

Following the loss, tight end Travis Kelce called out his teammates to step up to the challenge down the stretch.

"We have to man up," Kelce said, per the Kansas City Star. "Nobody is pointing fingers but guys have to get called out and be more accountable, and that starts with myself."

The Chiefs failed to score a touchdown on 12 drives against a defense that had allowed 82 points in their previous two games and came in allowing 473.5 yards per game in their past three tilts.

"You have to go out there and make plays, but we didn't," Kelce said.

The tight end was the Chiefs best offensive weapon, with Kareem Hunt mostly stuck in the mud. Kelce went for 109 yards on eight catches. However, he also had a brutal interception on a bizarre play call with the score tied late in the fourth quarter.

The Chiefs were supposed to walk into MetLife Stadium and wallop a punchless Giants team that appeared on the verge of mutinying on coach Ben McAdoo. Instead, New York showed more fight than the team battling for a playoff spot.

"I saw this, not this outcome, but this effort and this attention to detail coming a mile away," Kelce said of the Giants' energy. "Just because of all the stuff you heard in the media with [McAdoo] challenging them. Our job is to go out there and match it. We fell short."

Sitting at 6-4 in a limp AFC, the Chiefs are still in prime position for a playoff spot. K.C. owns a two-game lead in the AFC West with matchups against the Bills, Jets, and Raiders on tap. A winning streak would wipe away the bad taste from Sunday's loss in New Jersey.

Didn't Kelce let a pitch go right through his hands for a pick, then throw a pick? (Though that throw looked better than most of Smiths throws)

The pick he threw was terrible. The play was designed for one read to DAT. If you watch it, Robinson was jogging and was simply a decoy. Kelce tried to ham it up and be the hero. It was a boneheaded move to say the least.

Why aren't we relying on our Tight end to beat the defense by assign

Why is Alex Smith on our roster?

I couldn't find any alligator arm ones but did find plenty labeled the best TE in the league.

Hope that helps.

Jim Everett made the pro bowl too. He was also a giant pussy.

I don't know how anyone can blame Kelce for the dumb pass. You have to blame the STUPID ****ing play call there. Same with the Tyreek Hill interception. You'd think Andy would have learned.

No. The defense read the play and Kelce was getting hit before the ball even got to him.

That shovel pass bullshit may work in the NFL on occasion, but as soon as defenses start anticipating it, bad things like that happen. That play is brilliant a couple times a year. It's suicide running it on a weekly basis.

You guys really think having a dirty player will make a lick of difference for this defense? Look how many dirty players the Broncos have and their team is shit.

Kansas City doesn't have the media clout and franchise reputation to have a dirty player on the roster and not suffer the consequences of it on the field.

I see it as Kelce is running around saying that players should be called out...but hey, someone else go do it. It seems kind of weaksauceish. But hey, this whole team is weaksauce. I guess it's par for the course.

I assume he means in the locker room. No leader calls out his team in public.

Berry is the epitome of bad ass. Lack of lb talent and a 2nd cb doesn't mean you need a dirty player.

Watch KC's first game against Denver last year.

Berry's explosive tackling set the tone... and I think he also put 2 guys on the bench with injures from said hits.

I don't want or need Berry to become Cheapshot Rodney. He's scary while playing within the rules.
