The Patrick Mahomes-Travis Kelce connection remains a strong one for the [Kansas City Chiefs](https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs) after all these years.
When it's all said and done, Mahomes and Kelce might be the greatest tight end-quarterback duo in NFL history, as they've been terrorizing opposing defense for several years now.
However, Kelce is off to a slow start in the Week 8 game against the [Washington Commanders](https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/washington-commanders). Let's take a look at what's going on.
Is Travis Kelce playing tonight?
--------------------------------
**UPDATE:** Kelce is on the board with his first catch in the second quarter, but it lost a yard.
Yes, Kelce is active and in the lineup, and he did receive a target on the opening drive but wasn't able to reel it in.
We'll see if Kelce can get going on drive No. 2 in the second quarter.
