BE.BREAKING NEWS: Mahomes Praises Kelce’s Leadership After Dominating Win — Proudly Says “He’s My Best Friend!”
Kansas City, MO – October 29, 2025
In a game where the Kansas City Chiefs cruised to a 28-7 victory over the Washington Commanders, it wasn’t just the final score that left the crowd in awe. It was the continued brilliance of Travis Kelce, who once again proved why he’s one of the NFL’s most unstoppable forces.
Mahomes, who threw for 327 yards and three touchdowns in the win, couldn’t help but marvel at his longtime teammate’s performance. Kelce, who caught six passes for 99 yards and a touchdown, was a key part of the Chiefs’ offense. But it wasn’t just his ability to make plays on the field—it was his leadership and consistency that stood out to Mahomes after the game.
“Travis doesn’t just play with pure strength,” Mahomes said, his admiration clear. “He plays with his mind and his heart. The way he leads the team, the way he makes those clutch catches when we need him most—that’s what makes him great. That’s why I’m lucky to have him as my teammate.”
In the game, Kelce’s 6-catch, 99-yard performance was critical in establishing Kansas City’s offensive rhythm. His touchdown catch was just one of many moments where he showcased his ability to make big plays under pressure. But it wasn’t just his stats that caught Mahomes’ eye. It was the leadership Kelce displayed, the same leadership that has defined him throughout his career.
Mahomes also pointed out that Kelce’s ability to stay calm, even during high-pressure situations, is a huge asset to the team. “The best part about Travis is how composed he is. He’s been doing it for so long, and he just knows when to turn it on. That’s what makes him a legend.”
The Chiefs’ victory was marked by a well-rounded team effort, but Mahomes made it clear that Kelce’s influence goes beyond just the numbers. “When you’ve got a guy like Travis on your team, it makes everything easier. He’s not just a weapon on the field; he’s a leader. He’s our guy, and we know he’ll come through when it matters most.”
After the game, Kelce shrugged off the praise, focusing instead on the team’s performance. But Mahomes wasn’t about to let him downplay his contributions. “That’s my guy,” Mahomes said with a smile. “He’s the heart and soul of this offense, and we wouldn’t be where we are without him.”
It’s clear that as long as Mahomes and Kelce are together, the Chiefs’ offense will continue to shine. And with Kelce continuing to perform at the highest level, there’s no telling how much further this duo can go.
