Limited to smaller area; one hot-read TD catch, but space was anomalous
Tight end Travis Kelce is now limited to a smaller area of the field due to the Chiefs' lack of receiving talent at the position. He had one great catch and run on a hot read to beat the blitz, but the source notes 'the amount of space he had was crazy and rarely happens in the NFL,' suggesting the play was an outlier. The Chiefs don't have enough receiving talent at tight end for defenses to adjust much, making jumbo packages with extra linemen more valuable than keeping tight ends on the field.
