In the 2025 NFL season, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce experienced a notable, uncharacteristic string of dropped passes, totaling 8 drops over 13 games. These errors included critical, high-profile drops, such as one leading to a tipped interception against the Eagles in Week 2 and multiple drops in a Week 14 loss to the Texans.
 
Parkinson can catch coconuts being shot out of a cannon to work on his hands all off season, but I agree his drop as frustrating as it was, was not the cause to why we lost. I am hoping we can retain him since Higs may be leaving.
I believe he's signed for next year so unless we cut him he's on the Rams for at least one more season

No play was a bigger swing then X.Smith. As a reminder, he almost fumbled 2 punts in the game. Ridiculous.
Yeah! Some were blaming Forbes work on the gunner, while it wasn't a great effort, X Smith simply didn't focus on the ball. It's easier to come forward on the catch than backwards he lost footing trying to catch and that was really bad!!! I'm not sure if he gave a fair catch signal either but given the field position you fair catch.

I felt like if he makes that catch the Rams were gonna go score!
 
I think a lot has been said about Parkinson and his drops. I just wonder what his catch rate is?

What I am shocked by is that Parkinson seemed to have displaced Higbee on the depth chart.

I think we have seen why the Commodes moved on from Forbes and it’s not just his slight stature but also some blank space between his ears. He lacks football instincts and focus. Special teams need dogs out there competing. Rams gotta find some dogs like Benny Skow out there along with a QUALIFIED SPECIAL TEAMS COACH.

I don't agree with the announcer that Parkinson "might have walked in," but...
3rd and 1, and he drops an easy pass that would have made the go-ahead TD much easier.

Not much mention of this.
14 point swing between this and XSmith's muffed punt.

We still got a 1st down the next play. Didnt really change the outcome. We just didn't call the right plays or personnel that last two plays, IMO

My thing is they weren't using Forbes on STs, so it wasn't a good idea to put him out there like that. When it comes to Forbes and Durant, I would think both will return to the secondary. Forbes is still learning but he's a good tackler. D Will is a goner, his skills are in decline and he gave up the 50+ yard bomb in Seattle's first possession. Perhaps he could be better at Safety.
