Not sure if the ridiculously long halftime will be enough for Travis Kelce to calm down. The Chiefs TE, meanwhile, had just 1 catch for 1 yard on 1 target in the first half of Super Bowl LVIII.
In the first half, the Chiefs targeted TE Travis Kelce just one time. He has one catch for 1 yards. With Dre Greenlaw (Achilles) out, you can expect Andy Reid to attack the middle of the field over the next 30 minutes.
