The accomplishment puts Kelce’s career greatness into perspective once again, but it also comes at a time when many have doubted just how much is left in the tank for the 35-year-old three-time Super Bowl champion. Before he hit 100, Kelce also hauled in a 49-yard reception in the first half — the longest of his postseason career — and turned in his 14th straight playoff game with 70-plus receiving yards, extending his already long established record.
Kelce’s a 10-time Pro Bowler and a four-time All-Pro whose 1,004 career receptions are third all time for a tight end, just as his 12,151 receiving yards are. His 77 receiving touchdowns are fifth.
Of course, those are regular-season numbers. And Kelce’s 2024 regular season was pedestrian by his standards with 97 receptions for 823 yards and three touchdowns — the latter two his lowest totals since a one-game rookie year.
As Mahomes said, and prognosticated, though, Kelce stepped up as they great ones often do.
On Sunday, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce made history once again, posting his record ninth 100-yard playoff game in a thrilling victory over the Buffalo Bills. Kelce’s impressive performance not only helped propel the Chiefs to the AFC Championship game, but also broke a tie with Hall of Famer Jerry Rice for the most 100-yard playoff games by a tight end.
Kelce’s dominance on the field has been nothing short of remarkable, solidifying his status as one of the best at his position in NFL history. His combination of size, speed, and hands make him a nightmare matchup for defenses, and he has consistently delivered in the biggest moments.
As the Chiefs continue their quest to defend their Super Bowl title, Kelce will undoubtedly be a key factor in their success. With his record-breaking performance against the Bills, Kelce has once again proven why he is considered one of the elite players in the league. Congratulations to Travis Kelce on this impressive milestone!
