I think what got him open the most is Tyquan running down the field. You have that speed running at you down the field; the safety got depth, the run game, the play action brought the first level, second level up. Then all of a sudden Travis is right there behind everybody.

Thornton's deep route spacing helped free Kelce in Week 3 play-action.

Thornton's deep route in Week 3 against Miami created space for Kelce by forcing the Dolphins' high safety to stay on top of his route. Mahomes noted that Thornton's speed running downfield, combined with run game and play-action bringing the first and second level defenders up, left Kelce open behind everybody. Thornton's role as a spacing threat on deep routes supports the Chiefs' play-action efficiency.
