Travis Kelce discusses Mahomes' tactics during Colts' coin toss mistake
Summary

Travis Kelce, tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, recapped a coin toss dispute during the Chiefs' Week 2 overtime win against the Indianapolis Colts on September 20, 2026. Kelce stated that quarterback Patrick Mahomes quickly seized on a confusion during the toss when Colts captain Camryn Bynum said he wanted to defer. The referee clarified, allowing the Colts to kick off, which aligned with Mahomes' strategy of gaining the second possession. The Chiefs ultimately won 33-30 after a field goal from Harrison Butker as time expired in overtime. Kelce noted the unusual situation and how it could complicate future coin tosses, while his brother Jason suggested improving team captains' knowledge of the rules.
