Travis Kelce draws similarities between Patrick Mahomes and Bo Nix after Broncos QB's heroics

Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Travis Kelce, believes Patrick Mahomes and Bo Nix share a lot of similarities despite being divisional rivals on the field.

According to Travis Kelce, both quarterbacks have a habit for getting the job done in pressure situations. On the latest episode of New Heights, Kelce mentions how his teammates Mahomes, and the Denver Broncos pivot to thrive when a game is on the line.

“You just get more locked in. You get more focused. You feel that sense of urgency,” Kelce said (Timestamp: 42:17).

Last weekend, the Broncos trailed the New York Giants by 19 points going into the fourth quarter, but scored 33 in the final 15 minutes, winning on a last-play field goal.

Kelce credits both Nix and Mahomes for their talent to get the ball in the right areas for their receivers to make plays when it matters most.

“All of a sudden you start to get in sync with the guy back there calling the plays and or slinging the ball around, and the ball is just always kind of in that perfect place,” Kelce added (Timestamp: 42:24).

Kelce's brother Jason added that in his NFL career, Nix has an 81.4% completion percentage when trailing in the fourth quarter and a 162.8 passing rating. Nix has produced six-game winning drives for the Broncos in his career. Mahomes has 19 game-winning drives in the last quarter and seven in the playoffs. He helped spark seven in the 2024 regular season.

Following the incredible comeback against the Giants last weekend, Nix's wife Izzy, marvelled on Instagram, saying she may or may not have closed her eyes in the dying stages of that game.
