Why the Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce connection is so unstoppable

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS tight end Travis Kelce's route on third-and-3 in the third quarter of a Week 3 matchup against the Chicago Bears was supposed to take him to the back-right corner of the end zone, but he saw the defense leaving the middle uncovered.

So Kelce stopped there instead. That's when quarterback Patrick Mahomes spotted him and got Kelce the ball for an easy, 3-yard touchdown.

With thousands of throws and countless hours in the video room between them, Mahomes and Kelce made the play work even though it wasn't as the Chiefs designed it.
