MISSION ACCOMPLISHED 😂 Travis Kelce Read more in comment👇

Jones suited up on Sunday and got his sack. However, Kelce remained in street clothes.

And while the tight end was officially ruled out as a “coach’s decision,” the Chiefs’ head coach Andy Reid eventually explained that Kelce had made the call himself. As you might expect, that team-first move earned him plenty of praise.

streak lapse.

The tight end needed a handful of yards to break 1,000 receiving yards for the eighth consecutive season. No one else at his position had ever accomplished that feat more than three times in a row.”Travis might, he is a humble, humble guy,” Reid said during a press conference. “It’s different because of the financial part of it with Chris [Jones, who did play]. He didn’t want to be selfish or come across as selfish. I mean, everybody, all the players want him to play, but he just goes, ‘You know what? I don’t like the way it feels.’ He’s not into that, and so he chose not to play. And I completely understand it, but that’s him. Most guys would have probably gone out and done it, but he said, ‘I’ve got a lot of records, and this one here, you know, I’m not gonna do it this way.'”

The head coach also added that he would have let Kelce suit up to keep the streak alive if he wanted to take the field.

Kelce’s move earned plenty of praise online. In an era of social media highlights and big-money deals, fans appreciated his willingness to take a step back.
