Cris Collinsworth, Rodney Harrison flabbergasted by third straight Travis Kelce dud: Got to focus

Travis Kelce is in his “JAG” era.Kelce’s three-week “Invisible Man” Tour continued Sunday night with a third straight awful performance in the Chiefs’ 22-17 road win over the Falcons that had NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” crew questioning both why the three-time champion has looked like “just a guy” to start the season, and seemingly where his priorities lie.The 34-year-old tight end, who is dating Taylor Swift, has eight catches for 69 yards and zero touchdowns this season after hauling in four catches for 30 yards Sunday.“He’s busy, he’s got a lot on his plate,” former Patriots great Rodney Harrison said.“You think about it, he’s doing a lot of different things media-wise, he’s playing football, he’s got other things going on.
