Move to Make Now: Scale Back Travis Kelce’s Workload

The Bills did a really nice job of keeping Travis Kelce in check. He ended the game with just two receptions for eight yards on four targets. Last year, Kelce only played 77 percent of the team’s snaps and missed two games with injury. It ended up working out, as he played his best football in the playoffs.

This year, he’s back to playing 82 percent of the team’s snaps—his highest share since 2021. Now that the undefeated season is out of reach, the Chiefs should look to rest their 35-year-old tight end a bit more to ensure he’s at his best when it matters.

It is why he is MVP. Nobody in the league is currently elevating their offense or strapping a team to their back in the same defining manner as Allen. Nobody in the league rivals his cocktail of cannon-armed destruction and bulldozing rushing ferocity, one of the NFL’s most gifted passers also representing his team’s most potent ground threat. He is the ultimate problem for even the most savvy defensive minds like that of Spagnuolo.

“The Josh Allen experience, with this magnitude, has been phenomenal, man,” said wide receiver Amari Cooper. “He’s a great player. The old adage, big-time players make big-time plays in big-time situations, and that’s exactly what he did.”

Chiefs’ first loss could actually help them, and what else we learned in Week 11 | FOX Sports

Kansas City Chiefs: The undefeated season is over, and I think that’s a good thing. Look at the 2007 Patriots as an example. They infamously lost the Super Bowl after having a target on their back near the end of the regular season and getting absolutely no rest. The worst teams in the NFL were playing brilliantly against the Patriots, because no one wanted New England to go undefeated. It was a brutal run for the Patriots, and it seemed to fatigue the team — just battling tooth and nail for every win. That would have been the vicious road for Kansas City. I would go so far as to say that this actually makes their Super Bowl odds better. The intellectual and physical grind for perfection is over. Now they can focus on the prize that really matters: the three-peat.
