The Kansas City Chiefs are at the height of their powers. Kansas City is 3-0 and looking like the most dominant team in the NFL. There is little that can stand in their way on their quest for a three-peat. However, one radio personality believes that Travis Kelce may be holding them back.
Chris “Mad Dog” Russo went on an epic rant on First Take where he bemoaned Kelce’s insignificance to the Chiefs offense.
“He’s 35 years old. I mean he’s 35, he’s not going to be able to be the greatest tight end in the world at 35 years of age,” Russo said. “So sooner or later, he’s going to wear down a little bit. Throw in a little distraction and you have a situation where something might be a little crazy.”
Kelce is actually 34 years old. But Russo is still accurate with his overall point. After all, Rob Gronkowski is 35 years old and he has been retired since 2021.
“Mahomes is so good, I heard the same thing about Tyreek Hill. Oh they lose Tyreek Hill and he can’t win,” Russo said. “He’s won 2 Super Bowls since Tyreek Hill left. He’s 3-0 and Kelce’s done nothing. What all of a sudden he needs Travis Kelce, they’ve won 3 games.
“Kelce’s done nothing?” Stephen A. Smith questioned.
“He’s caught like 6 passes,” Russo responded.
“They’re 3 – 0. In the last 2 years without Hill everybody said they can’t do anything without Hill, they won 2 Super Bowls. He is so good, I could be the Receiver and he can coach him [referring to Jeff Saturday]. We’d still be in half way decent shape. Well maybe not that.”
Russo is taking a shot at Jeff Saturday’s short coaching career with the Colts, joking that even he could coach Mahomes and they’d win.
