"The first time Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw the ball to tight end Travis Kelce against the Washington Commanders on Monday night, the play resulted in a 1-yard loss. But on the next play, Mahomes put the ball in Kelce's hands. The lone issue for the Chiefs was that the ball didn't stay with Kelce, instead bouncing in the air and intercepted by linebacker Bobby Wagner."
"Kelce's 10-yard touchdown late in the third quarter -- which gave the Chiefs a 14-point lead -- was also historic, as his 83rd career score tied former running back Priest Holmes for the most total touchdowns in Chiefs franchise history The biggest highlight for Kansas City was when Kelce wasn't Mahomes first, second or third passing option on a play-action snap early in the third quarter."
"Most surprising performance: Defensive end Mike Danna has struggled for much of this season, but the five-year veteran had a night to remember. Danna ended the Commanders' opening drive with an interception, the first of his career after quarterback Marcus Mariota's pass bounced off the shoulder of receiver Deebo Samuel. And just before the end of the third quarter, Danna collected his first sack of the season, a 10-yard loss on third down that pushed the Commanders out of field goal range."
Travis Kelce rebounded after an early tipped interception to record six receptions on eight targets for 99 yards and a 10-yard touchdown that tied Priest Holmes for the franchise career touchdown lead at 83. The 38-yard play-action gain in the third quarter showcased Kelce's ability to block then leak into the secondary for a big gain. Patrick Mahomes and Kelce reached 75 combined touchdowns, joining Brady-Gronkowski and Rivers-Gates as the only QB-TE duos with that total including playoffs. Defensive end Mike Danna provided a momentum shift with an interception and later registered his first sack, helping limit Washington to seven points.
