Travis Kelce baffled NFL fans with his behavior in the Chiefs’ practice on Thursday, as footage from the session has gone viral on social media.
Kelce and his Kansas City teammates are preparing to face the Bills this weekend with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line.
But he appeared to be in a jokey mood just days before the game as he hid himself at one point during practice.
Video from the Kansas City Star’s Jesse Newell shows Kelce ducking behind a tackling pad for nearly 10 seconds.
Newell added in a reply underneath the clip that he believed Kelce was trying to sneak up on Chris Jones and ‘phantom dunk on him.’
Nonetheless, fans were puzzled by the video, which has received more than three million views to date on X.

‘What was he doing behind that?,’ one asked.
‘Damn, took me about 13 seconds to find him,’ another said.
And a third admitted, ‘that took me more watch thru’s than I care to admit.’
Others saw the lighthearted moment as evidence the Chiefs would lose to the Bills this weekend.
‘This is how the Chiefs prepare for locker cleanout on Monday,’ one said.
‘They’re f***ing around at practice bills by a billion dude they think this is a joke Josh Allen boutta cook them,’ another wrote.
Although Allen and the Bills beat the Chiefs earlier in the regular season, Buffalo is 0-3 in their last three postseason meetings against Kansas City.
Most recently, the Chiefs beat the Bills away from home in last year’s divisional round en route to a second consecutive Super Bowl win (and the third overall since the 2019 season).
The Bills have never won a Super Bowl, as they lost in the championship game four straight years from 1991-94.
They haven’t been back since.
