Travis Kelce seemed off against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, and fans were clearly frustrated. This comes as the Kansas City Chiefs rode on Rashee Rice's early touchdown run to take a 10-7 lead vs Josh Allen and co. At the time of writing this story, Kelce had no receptions.

“Is Travis kelce gonna get involved or what?” a Chiefs fan asked on X, platform formerly known as Twitter.

“Mahomes beefing with his boyfriend Travis Kelce or what? Throw him the damn ball..” another one added.

A third fan speculated whether Kelce has an undisclosed injury. However, there is no update on Kelce from the Chiefs camp yet. It is unclear what was impacting his performance.
