NEWNow you can listen to Pak Gazette articles!

Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce had a heated moment with Denver Broncos defensive back Ja’Quan McMillian in the second quarter on Sunday.

Kelce made his second catch of the game and helped the Chiefs earn a first down on a 10-yard reception. It took several Broncos players to take down Kelce, including McMillian, who went over and landed on the tight end’s chest.

When Kelce got back up, he and McMillian were face to face. A few bad words seemed to be exchanged as they returned to their respective groups. At that point, Kelce had two catches for 14 yards, but it was becoming more difficult for the Chiefs’ offense to break through the Broncos’ defense.

Kansas City ended the series with a Harrison Butker field goal. The match was tied 6-6.

Kelce has quietly put together one of the best starts to the season among tight ends through 10 weeks. He had 41 receptions for 540 yards and three touchdowns as the Chiefs emerged from the bye week with a 5-4 record.

McMillian, who is in his fourth season with the Broncos, has 29 tackles, five pass deflections, two forced fumbles and two sacks in 10 games. He joined Denver as an undrafted free agent out of East Carolina in 2022.

Both teams came into the AFC West matchup needing a win for their own reasons. The Broncos will remain in the race for the division title and the Chiefs will still be alive in the race for a wild card spot.
