Patrick Mahomes has issued a challenge to Kansas City Chiefs teammate Travis Kelce amid the tight end’s early-season slump.
Kelce is not playing his best football at the moment, although the Chiefs aren’t worse off for it as they have been winning games, but fans are beginning to worry that he might be past it.
Mahomes, meanwhile, continues to shine in his position under center. And, this Friday, he laid out a challenge to his favorite teammate that has nothing to do with football.
The quarterback came across a tweet showing him and Kelce in their college days, with their former schools – Cincinnati and Texas Tech – set to play each other as conference opponents for the first time on Saturday. He told Kelce he would revert to the hairstyles shown in the photos but dared the TE to go first.
I’ll bring the hair back if you do too! @tkelce https://t.co/vQ4Eh9xM6A

Fans do not believe it’s a good idea.
“respectfully…..don’t do it,” one advised.
“Please don’t,” another begged.
“No!!!! We like Kelce’s hair!!! We like your hair the way you have it now @PatrickMahomes. Don’t touch the hair!!!!!” someone else ordered.
“Patrick that would be bad luck, keep the championship hair 💪,” a user added.
“Don’t you dare🤣,” someone laughed.
Patrick Mahomes Explains Why Travis Kelce Has Been Playing So Badly This Season
Meanwhile, Mahomes has attempted to explain why the game has been so difficult for Kelce this season.
“Yeah, it’s crazy because teams still — the respect factor they have for Travis is just unreal,” he said, via ProFootballTalk. “It’s well-deserved, but we’re calling a lot of plays for Travis, and it’s like two or three people are going to him. So, I mean, he understands.
“I think that’s the great thing about him is he wants to make an impact on the game, but he wants to win at the end of the day.”
Kelce has admitted he needs to play better but isn’t letting his form get to him as “that’s football.”
Everyone Is Praying For Baker Mayfield And His Wife After The Couple Was Forced From Their Home In Tampa Bay

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield and his wife Emily have had to evacuate their home this week because of Hurricane Helene.
The hurricane hit northern Florida pretty hard, causing major flooding and power loss.
Mayfield, his wife Emily, their daughter, and their dog left their residence before the storm hit as a means of caution. Emily furnished her followers with an update on Friday.
“Baker, Koko, Fergus and I evacuated yesterday and are safe,” she said via Instagram. “Our sweet, sweet community got pummeled, but even that doesn’t compare to the people up North who took this storm head on. It’s unfathomable.”
Emily is grateful that Helene did not affect the Mayfield home but revealed she was “praying nonstop” for the people dealing with the impact while also offering tangible assistance.
“I am looking for ways to get out and tangibly help,” she added. “Please send me anything you find, and I will share the good ones.”

Fans Were Praying For Baker Mayfield And Florida After Learning He Had To Evacuate His Home
Fans offered prayers for Mayfield, his family, and the city after coming across the update on X/Twitter.
“Praying everyone stays safe,” a user wrote.
“I’m glad they are safe! Family is more important than football. I’m glad that they were not in danger,” a second added.
“Wishing the best for the Bakers and the communities involved. 🙏,” said a third.
Helene was the first category storm to reach Florida’s Big Bend region in over 170 years.
The natural disaster is understood to have claimed several lives, including in the state. It has since been downgraded to a tropical depression but is still considered to be dangerous as it makes its way to the southeastern coast.
The Buccaneers are scheduled to play the Philadelphia Eagles at home this Sunday. The NFL has not announced any changes in kickoff time or venue so far.
PHOTO: Paparazzi Cameras Caught A Bitter Looking Travis Kelce On A Lunch Date With Taylor Swift
Travis Kelce was caught sulking while on a date with girlfriend Taylor Swift.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end was trying to enjoy a meal in peace but, as he should have expected, the paparazzi was out in full force.
According to TMZ, Travis and Taylor hit Nobu Malibu in the daytime, so there was no way they were going to escape the cameras.
“The couple hit up one of the most frequented hot spots in town Sunday by dropping in on Nobu Malibu — and in broad daylight, no less … so you know they were ready to be snapped by paps, and they 100% were,” the publication reported.
The celebrity pair sat out on a balcony seat facing the ocean and were later seen holding hands on their way out. At one point, Kelce stared directly at one of the folks taking pictures of him, and he looked pissed.

Ouch!
Travis Kelce Must Be Used To Paparazzi By Now, So Was This A Bit Too Much?
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are quite used to having cameras all around them, especially now that they are an item. But perhaps having their attempt to just enjoy a meal invaded by paparazzi was a bit much, hence the death stare from the three-time Super Bowl winner.
Meanwhile, the two are likely keen on spending as much time together as they possibly can given that they’ve both gotten a well-deserved break from their busy schedules.
The NFL season is over, while Taylor’s Eras Tour is on pause. Travis has done a bit of flying this offseason, going to Australia and Singapore to attend Taylor’s concerts but they’re back in the U.S. now that her tour has gone on break.
