‘Yikes’ – NFL fans hit out at Travis Kelce after what he was spotted doing in Chiefs win

Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, faced criticism from NFL fans following a crucial hold during Monday night's game against the Denver Broncos. Kelce contributed 73 yards to the Chiefs' victory, but it was an off-the-ball incident that has drawn scrutiny. As Patrick Mahomes scored a touchdown, Kelce appeared to make a hold on Broncos safety Talanoa Hufanga, which went unnoticed by the officials.

Fans took to social media to express their frustration, with one sarcastically replying, "The Chiefs are so back." The Chiefs' win came after a disappointing 2025 season, and Kelce, turning 37 in the coming weeks, has been under scrutiny regarding his future in the league. Despite both teams committing seven penalties each, some fans felt more should have been called by the officials, comparing the situation to last year's controversial calls.

The emphatic win for the Chiefs has left fans in the rest of the league on alert, questioning Mahomes' performance following his injury last year.
