Travis Kelce made a costly mistake during the Kansas City Chiefs’ "Monday Night Football" matchup against the Washington Commanders.

The Chiefs had 3rd-and-4 at midfield early in the second quarter at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. Patrick Mahomes tried to hit Kelce on a curl route right at the first-down marker. It was a pass the two have connected on hundreds of times.

But this time around, Kelce let the ball slip through his fingertips and fall right into the hands of Commanders linebacker Bobby Wagner for an interception.

The All-Pro tight end caught just one of his first three targets, with his lone catch being for minus-one yard. He certainly looked washed to start the game.

The interception may have lit a fire in Kelce, because he looked anything but washed in the drives to follow. Through the rest of the second quarter to the end of the third, Kelce recorded five receptions for 100 yards.

Kelce also caught a 10-yard touchdown pass late in the third period that gave the Chiefs a decisive 21-7 lead going into the fourth quarter.

Chiefs fans are well aware of Kelce’s natural decline over the last few seasons. But the 36-year-old can still step up during a “Monday Night Football” matchup every once in a while.
