Kelce had 97 catches for 823 yards and three touchdowns this season, the lowest numbers he’s racked up in yards and scores throughout his 11-year NFL career. Mahomes said the Chiefs have no doubt the tight end, who wasnominatedfor the NFL’s “Man of the Year” award, will “step up” his game for the playoffs though.
“The greats, they step up in the playoffs, and it’s just higher intensity,” Mahomessaidat this week’s team press conference. “The best players and the best leaders step up and make the best plays, and he’s done that, so I expect the same from him going into this playoffs.”
