Travis Kelce drew attention after sharing a brief postgame moment with DeAndre Hopkins following the Kansas City Chiefs’ win over the Baltimore Ravens. Cameras captured the tight end embracing his former teammate at midfield after the final whistle. Observers connected the exchange to Hopkins’ short stint with Kansas City before he signed with Baltimore in the offseason.
Travis Kelce and DeAndre Hopkins hug it out post-game
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce logged five catches for 48 yards in a 37-20 win over the Baltimore Ravens. The Chiefs improved to 2-2 with their second consecutive victory, while Kelce contributed despite not scoring a touchdown. Baltimore’s DeAndre Hopkins, who signed a one-year, $5 million deal with the Ravens in the offseason, finished without a catch after playing limited snaps.
After the game, Kelce and Hopkins, who were teammates in Kansas City last season, shared a hug at midfield. Hopkins had joined the Chiefs midseason from the Tennessee Titans in 2024, appearing in five games before opting for free agency. Their brief post-game exchange drew attention as a moment of sportsmanship between the veteran stars.
Hopkins, 33, had already scored twice in his first two games with Baltimore this year, though Sunday marked a quieter outing. Kelce, meanwhile, continues to build on his 10-time Pro Bowl career while helping the Chiefs rebound from an early-season slump.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson also featured prominently in the matchup, with Kansas City’s offense controlling the contest against Baltimore’s defense. The Chiefs’ victory extended their winning streak to two games, and the team will now prepare for a primetime Monday Night Football game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on October 6.
Hopkins, despite his limited production against his former team, remains a central offensive option for the Ravens going forward. Kelce continues to anchor Kansas City’s passing attack, serving as a key weapon as the defending champions push deeper into the season.
