In the first two games of 2024, Travis Kelce has just four catches for 39 yards. Why are he and Patrick Mahomes all of a sudden out of sync?

Kelce ended a streak of seven consecutive 1,000-yard seasons last year when he had just 984 receiving yards, his fewest since 2015. He came up huge in the postseason, though, catching 32 passes for 355 yards and three touchdowns.

Kelce has set such a high standard for excellence at the tight end position that it’s jarring when he’s basically running cardio, but he’s been a non-factor to start the 2024 season, coming off a down 2023 season that featured his fewest receiving yards since 2015 (984) and fewest touchdowns since 2019 (five).
