Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes still failing to connect as Chiefs QB apologises for his unfortunate play… Full Details

The Kansas City Chiefs got their first win of the 2025/26 NFL season by stopping the New York Giants, but the same signs of offensive issues remained as Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce continued to struggle to connect.

The Chiefs ran out 22-9 winners on the road against New York on Sunday, September 21 as their 29-year-old quarterback produced 224 passing yards for one touchdown.

This time he barely ran the ball, rushing for just two yards on five carries, and maintained a pass completion percentage of 59.5% as he was sacked twice and threw a fumble – although he did recover it.

“That was a great tackle,” Mahomes told reporters afterward. “I’m not going to try to do that again… We’ll throw the ball forward next time.”
The three-time Super Bowl champion continues to find it challenging to make plays without his preferred wide receivers, Xavier Worthy and Rashee Rice, and it seems as though his chemistry with Kelce is beginning to break down.

The offense generated only 4.6 yards per play against a defense that conceded over 40 points to the Dallas Cowboys a week prior, as they depended on field goals from Harrison Butker to edge ahead throughout.
