"It's not as much about the shape that I look like I'm in, it's about the grit that I have and the heart that I have to

What happened: Kelce said shape mattered less than grit and heart to get the ball north. Kansas City closed out Indianapolis 33-30 on the same night.

Why it matters: Kelce has generated 128 yards after catch to lead the NFL early this season. Harrison Butker tallied a game-high 15 points to supply the winning margin.

By the numbers: Kelce: 128 YAC, 1st in NFL. Butker: 15 points, game high. Final: Kansas City 33, Indianapolis 30.

What to watch: Watch whether Kelce's after-catch workload holds as the central feature of the passing game.
