Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs secured their fourth consecutive win on Sunday as they defeated the Cleveland Browns 21-7 in Kelce’s hometown.
On Tuesday, the Chiefs released mic’d-up footage of Kelce from the game, where he correctly predicted a turnover.
With just under 13 minutes left in the third quarter, Cleveland running back Nick Chubb fumbled deep in Browns territory, and Chiefs linebacker Drue Tranquill recovered. Earlier, Kelce had called out, “Oh, ball out, ball out,” but the play didn’t result in a turnover.
“I lied,” Kelce admitted. “I tried to manifest it, that’s all. I just tried to manifest it.” Moments later, Chubb fumbled for real, and Kelce celebrated by pointing toward the Chiefs’ bench and bragging about his manifestation.
“Ball out! Ball out,” Kelce added. “Cleveland, baby—the land of magic.” Kelce certainly didn’t put up his best numbers in the win, recording just four catches for 27 yards.

But the main concern coming out of the game for Kansas City was the injury to quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who left late in the fourth quarter after getting his ankle rolled up on. His status for Week 16 is uncertain, but it appears the two-time NFL MVP won’t miss much action and will, at the very least, be back in time for the playoffs.
Kelce and the Chiefs have now moved to 13-1 on the season, good for the best record in the NFL. However, the tight end has failed to get into the end zone over their previous five games. He will look to change that with the Houston Texans coming to town on Saturday.
