This win comes after the Chiefs' first loss of the season to the Buffalo Bills on Nov. 17, which ended their impressive nine-game winning streak. The Chiefs are now the first American Football Conference team to reach 10 wins this season, while the Detroit Lions lead the NFC with the same record.
Kelce's pre-game outfit also got fans talking. Sporting a white bucket hat, a red-and-blue flannel shirt, and corduroy pants, Kelce's look drew comparisons to his pop star girlfriend, Taylor Swift, who has recently been spotted in similar plaid styles. Fans speculated whether Kelce's outfit was a playful nod to Swift or perhaps a hint at her rumored upcoming album release. "Travis... in plaid... I AM READY FOR IT," one fan commented, referencing Swift's Reputation album.
The game also marked a significant moment in Kelce's career as he became the tight end with the third-most receiving yards in NFL history. A 19-yard reception pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes helped Kelce surpass Antonio Gates' record of 11,841 yards, bringing his career total to 11,854 yards. He now trails only Tony Gonzalez (15,127 yards) and Jason Witten (13,046 yards) on the all-time list.
Kelce's records don't stop there. He holds the NFL record for the most receiving yards by a tight end in a single season, with 1,416 yards in 2020. He is also the fastest player to reach 10,000 receiving yards and has the most receptions (814) by a tight end in their first 10 seasons.
The Chiefs, now sitting at 10-1 and leading the AFC West, will next face the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday, Nov. 29, at home in Kansas City. With Kelce continuing to dominate on the field, fans and analysts alike are excited to see how far he can push his record-breaking career.
