Chiefs tight end\u00a0Travis Kelce, known for making big plays when the team needs him the most, failed to record a catch in a postseason first half for the first time in his career.<\/p>\n<p>The 35-year-old All-Pro finished the game with four catches for 39 yards. \u201cIt just wasn\u2019t our day,\u201d Kelce lamented on his \u201cNew Heights\u201d podcast earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI couldn\u2019t find a lick of momentum.
