STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Illegal shift penalty and reduced route role limited Kelce's impact in Seattle loss.

An untimely illegal shift penalty called on Kelce eliminated a 12-yard reception from Kenneth Walker that would have set up a third-and-12, directly stalling a Chiefs drive. Later in the game, Kelce was used for chip blocks to protect Mahomes rather than running routes, sacrificing his receiving role to keep the quarterback upright; on one such play, Mahomes fired a pass that Kelce didn't expect and the ball flew off his chest incomplete.
