KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Just about everyone seems to be concerned about Travis Kelce’s production except the Kansas City Chiefs. That’s because they are 3-0 heading to the Chargers this weekend, and the four-time All-Pro tight end remains a big reason why. Rather than piling up catches and yards, though, Kelce has become a de facto decoy on offense. And as he continues to demand double- and even triple-teams from defenses, wide receiver Rashee Rice and backup tight end Noah Gray have started to get open more. Rice had 12 catches for 110 yards and a touchdown last week in Atlanta as he continued his torrid start to the season.
