In Sunday’s thrilling 19-17 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce made history. Kelce caught five of six targets for 45 yards, helping secure the narrow win for the Chiefs. With his performance, Kelce became the fastest tight end in NFL history to reach 12,000 career receiving yards, doing so in just 172 regular-season games. This achievement broke the previous record set by Tony Gonzalez, who had reached 12,000 yards in 210 games.

Kelce’s team-high 45 receiving yards included a critical nine-yard reception on third-and-7 during the fourth quarter, just after the two-minute warning. This crucial catch helped the Chiefs run down the clock before Matthew Wright kicked the game-winning 31-yard field goal as time expired.

Heading into Week 15, Kelce’s impressive season continues. He has recorded 80 receptions for 682 yards and two touchdowns, solidifying his position as one of the NFL’s elite tight ends. With the Chiefs preparing for a road matchup against the Cleveland Browns, Kelce will look to add to his legacy as one of the most dominant players in the league.
