The Chiefs player, currently the focus of a media storm thanks to his apparently blossoming relationship with singer Taylor Swift, was able to walk from the field after slipping and hurting his right foot.
Kelce to have x-rays after possible foot injury
The 34-year-old threw his helmet away in disappointment at the injury, before heading to the locker room, where sources indicated he was going to undergo x-rays to determine the extent of any injury.
The Kansas City Chiefs opened the season with a home loss to the Lions, but have since won 3 straight games. A huge part of the Chiefs success has been their defense overachieving and allowing only 15 points per game to opposing offenses. That ranks 5th-best in the NFL and they will need to show up again in this game against a pass-happy Vikings team. The Chiefs offense remains hard to contain and keep out of the end zone and I expect the Vikings defense to get scored on all game long.
The Vikings had a rough start to the season, going 0-3 before beating another winless team in Carolina last week. Every game they have lost has been a one-possession game and they were barely able to beat the Panthers too. If they want to do better they need to get their struggling ground game going. They rank 5th-worst in rushing yards per game. The way this Chiefs defense has been playing I don’t see the Vikings offense putting up much of a threat. They could struggle to run the football and force Kirk Cousins to throw the ball more than he wants and make mistakes. I’ll take the Chiefs to cover the spread on the road.
