Travis Kelce showed off his Hollywood acting skills by producing a hilarious Patrick Mahomes impression on the sidelines of Saturday’s Kansas City Chiefs game.
Both Kelce and Mahomes had earlier gone viral for the quarterback’s incredible behind-the-back pass to his friend and teammate, during the preseason outing against the Detroit Lions.
While many thought it was straight out of the Andy Reid playbook, Mahomes then revealed after the game that he was ‘p*ssed’ at Kelce, and only threw the pass because the tight end had run the wrong route.
In the act of fairness, Kelce was then given the right to reply – and he responded by pulling out a hilarious Kermit the Frog-style impression of Mahomes.
‘It wasn’t a play? Nah, it was a play… it was a first down,’ Kelce responded during his live TV interview when asked about the viral moment, before explaining why he may have misheard his quarterback

‘You know he’s got the voice thing, so he kind of mumbles,’ he joked, producing a hilarious noise that sounded uncannily like something out of The Muppets.
‘So he kind of mumbled out the play and I couldn’t hear it, I was walking up to the line trying to decipher what he was saying, and before I knew it he snapped the ball.’
As you might expect, social media was immediately sent into overdrive, as one fan commented: ‘No way Kelce just called Mahomes Kermit the Frog!’
Another added: ‘Tight end, backup dancer at the Eras Tour, Mahomes impression. Travis Kelce can do it all.’
Just minutes earlier, Mahomes had been questioned on the reason for the play, explaining: ‘Travis didn’t run the route he was supposed to run. I was mad, I was p*ssed off at Travis.
‘Out of spite, I threw a behind-the-back pass. But now it’s going to be a highlight!’
