Travis Kelce roasts Patrick Mahomes' 'Kermit the Frog' voice following QB's sudden behind-the-back pass
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs' star tight end, brought his comedic chops to the sideline during the preseason game against the Detroit Lions on Saturday, August 17, delivering a spot-on Patrick Mahomes impression that left fans in stitches.
The playful exchange followed a viral moment from the game where the quarterback executed an impressive behind-the-back pass to Kelce, sparking widespread speculation about the play's origin.

While many believed the flashy pass was part of coach Andy Reid’s creative playbook, Patrick Mahomes later revealed that it was a spur-of-the-moment decision driven by his frustration with Travis Kelce, who had apparently run the wrong route.
"I was mad, I was p*****d off at Travis," admitted the star quarterback during a post-game interview. However, he acknowledged that despite Kelce's mishap, his "out of spite" move would likely become a highlight reel staple.
Not one to back down from some friendly banter, Kelce was given the opportunity to respond, and he did so with humor.
In a live TV interview, he mimicked Mahomes’ distinctive voice, which has often been compared to Kermit the Frog. "It wasn't a play? Nah, it was a play... it was a first down," joked Kelce, before adding, "You know he's got the voice thing, so he kind of mumbles."
He then mimicked Mahomes, complete with the signature Kermit-like tone.
