The TE didn't watch most of the second half of the Chiefs' playoff game after suffering a concussion. And when he finally saw the score -- more pain.
Nobody told tight end Travis Kelce how the Chiefs were faring without him after he left last season's playoff game against the Titans shortly before halftime because of a concussion. So imagine his surprise when he learned the Chiefs, who appeared well on their way to victory when he departed, were behind and destined to lose when he finally placed himself in front of a TV. “I missed the entire second half up until the last drive,'' Kelce said as the Chiefs began their offseason program on Monday. “I jumped out of an MRI machine and looked at the score and (wondered) “What the heck is going on?' I haven't really peeked at the film ever since because I really don't want to know what the heck just happened. I don't think the people doing the MRIs and the X-rays even watch the game. I don't even there's a TV in there. I didn't get any updates. Talk about ruin your day. All the air just left my body. I just sat down and had my fingers crossed that (quarterback Alex Smith) could go out there and make some plays and get us on to the next round.'' Kelce said he would have been available to play the following week had the Chiefs advanced rather than lose to the Titans 22-21.
