Kelce leaves after tackle

A key part of Kansas City’s offense

Those numbers come during a season in which Kansas City has improved on its 6-11 finish from last year, when the team missed the NFL playoffs.
Chiefs lead the AFC West
Kansas City stands at 6-2 and atop the AFC West. Its two losses have come against the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos. Kelce’s injury occurred as the Chiefs continue their bounce-back season. The report does not say whether he will miss any upcoming games.
