Travis Kelce looked 'hunched and subdued' in the - a game in which . Through the first three games of the season, has registered just 69 yards and no touchdowns - a total that he'd usually amass in one game in previous seasons with fans worrying that he's lost his speed and elusiveness while struggling to break tackles and get open to begin the ' season. Although Kansas City's offense has looked less potent with Kelce failing to make an impact, the team remains unbeaten after beating the with wide receiver Rashee Rice becoming ' go-to option above Kelce.
At one point in the game with Kelce struggling to get himself open, the camera had panned to the 34-year-old with him looking dejected on the sideline. And James stated that she saw that look from the NFL superstar throughout the game in Atlanta. James exclusively told Mirror US: "Hunched and uncharacteristically subdued-looking here, Travis appears to be in reflective mood in this moment of what appears to be unhappiness.
"His eye expression looks undeniably sad and the quick tongue-poke gesture suggests dislike, disapproval or even disgust. Is he crying? His hand to eye gesture could just be a quick rubbing ritual but it does also allow for tears but if he is wiping a tear he’s doing it in a way that would suggest he’s desperately trying to cover up. His finger rubs the top of his closed lid to suggest he’s just clearing or scratching although there is then a subtle dabbing or rubbing lower down on the cheek afterward.
"This body language could of course be caused by many reasons like: the game if its going badly or if he’s off-form; a moment of exhaustion; a romance-based Swifty-rift; separation anxiety caused by the fact Taylor was AWOL or even just the way the wind is destroying his new hairdo." Kelce's girlfriend Taylor Swift had been a noticeable omission from the game, as she instead spent the weekend in New York City while being pictured GiGi Hadid enjoying a night out in Manhattan. It remains to be seen when, if at all, Kelce can bust out of his early slump, with Kansas City including rookie Xavier Worthy and Rice being targetted more than him through their first three games on the year.
