    I believe in this case, Kelce missed the block on the player that caused the fumble, or maybe it was a different tight end.

      This is it. The 2nd string tight end was in for that play and whiffed on the block that led to the fumble. Kelce was screaming “Leave me in, leave me in,” which is a fair point because he’s a monster blocker. I’d give the edge to Kittle for blocking, but still really good.

      Kelce wasn’t in the game when that fumble happened, but he would have been in position to make that block. He was basically telling Reid to leave him in the game because it’s the Super Bowl and he’s the better player.
