Travis Kelce Makes History: Breaking Franchise Touchdown Record for the Kansas City Chiefs
Travis Kelce, the star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, made history in Week 11 by scoring his 84th career touchdown, surpassing Priest Holmes for the most touchdowns in franchise history. This milestone came with a crucial 21-yard touchdown catch from quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Kelce had previously tied Holmes in Week 8 with a 10-yard touchdown reception.
Kelce, who has played his entire 13-year career with the Chiefs, already held franchise records for receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns. With his latest touchdown, which includes two rushing touchdowns and a fumble recovery for a touchdown, Kelce now holds the franchise record for total touchdowns scored.
While Holmes' record is impressive, having played only 65 games with the Chiefs due to injuries, Kelce's achievement highlights his exceptional skill and longevity in the league. Throughout his career, Kelce has consistently been a reliable target for Mahomes, recording at least three touchdown receptions in every season except his rookie year. He ranks among the top tight ends in NFL history in receptions, trailing only Tony Gonzalez and Jason Witten.
Kelce's remarkable career and record-breaking performance solidify his status as one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history. His consistent production and impact on the field have earned him a well-deserved place in the conversation for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
