It happened a few minutes into the third quarter with the Titans holding a 14-9 lead. With the Chiefs possessing the ball first-and-10 on their own 37-yard line, quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw a short pass to Kelce in the flat that bounced off his hands, with cornerback Roger McCreary catching the ball before it hit the ground for the interception.
Kelce was understandably angry with himself for giving the Titans a short field for a scoring opportunity, and took it out on his helmet as he threw it towards the sideline.game changing drop from Kelce pic.twitter.com/vsqChlExtJ

After Kansas City took a 9-0 lead in the second quarter, the Titans scored two touchdowns before halftime to take a 14-9 lead, and McCreary's interception seemed to keep the momentum with Tennessee.
However, the Chiefs defense stepped up from that point on in the game, holding the Titans to a field goal on that ensuing drive. It would be the last time in the game that Tennessee would score. Meanwhile, Kelce managed to regroup and stay focused, finishing with 10 catches for 102 yards as the Chiefs came from behind to beat the Titans 20-17 in overtime.
We would imagine Kelce was in a much better mood after the game. Maybe he was even happy enough to give Mahomes a wet willy.
