The Kansas City Chiefs lost their fourth game in five tries after Sunday's overtime defeat at the hands of the struggling New York Giants.

Following the loss, tight end Travis Kelce called out his teammates to step up to the challenge down the stretch.

"We have to man up," Kelce said, per the Kansas City Star. "Nobody is pointing fingers but guys have to get called out and be more accountable, and that starts with myself."

The Chiefs failed to score a touchdown on 12 drives against a defense that had allowed 82 points in their previous two games and came in allowing 473.5 yards per game in their past three tilts.

"You have to go out there and make plays, but we didn't," Kelce said.

The tight end was the Chiefs best offensive weapon, with Kareem Hunt mostly stuck in the mud. Kelce went for 109 yards on eight catches. However, he also had a brutal interception on a bizarre play call with the score tied late in the fourth quarter.

The Chiefs were supposed to walk into MetLife Stadium and wallop a punchless Giants team that appeared on the verge of mutinying on coach Ben McAdoo. Instead, New York showed more fight than the team battling for a playoff spot.

"I saw this, not this outcome, but this effort and this attention to detail coming a mile away," Kelce said of the Giants' energy. "Just because of all the stuff you heard in the media with [McAdoo] challenging them. Our job is to go out there and match it. We fell short."

Sitting at 6-4 in a limp AFC, the Chiefs are still in prime position for a playoff spot. K.C. owns a two-game lead in the AFC West with matchups against the Bills, Jets, and Raiders on tap. A winning streak would wipe away the bad taste from Sunday's loss in New Jersey.

That's the reason we are in 3rd and long most of the time.

KC is 21st in the league in rushing attempts per game, and that includes over 35 carries from Smith. Andy Reid has probably never finished top half of the league in rushing attempts. It's not some hot take that Reid does not have a commitment to running the football.

While the fines is a valid point... don't say shit about Rings.
Look at all of the rings Barry Sanders and Dan Marino have.

Get out of here with Ring talk.

"Oh shit this dude doesn't have a ring.... don't sign him!!"

Is Kelce supposed to block the guy tackling him as he catches a gimmick shovel pass?

idk, it was a ****ing terrible playcall on both accounts, but if we're talking about accountability, both were ultimately on him.

What are you trying to argue here? That Reid doesn't have a history of not committing to the run? He hasn't run the ball a lot this year, and he hasn't run the ball a lot over the course of his career. In the conversation of run/pass balance, Andy Reid has ALWAYS been a pass heavy coach.

I'm simply using that history as a possible explanation for this Oline's mediocrity/softness in the run game. As in, maybe the running game doesn't get adequate emphasis in practice. Maybe that's not it at all, maybe these guys are just soft pussies that can't win at the point of attack. I just know the lions share of running success under Reid's Chiefs has come on the talent of guys like Charles and Hunt more than from exceptional line play.
