Travis Kelce sets another NFL record, his most impressive one to date

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce reached a new milestone on Sunday, cementing his place as one of the most impressive players in NFL history. The 36-year-old now holds the record for the most yards after the catch, surpassing Hall of Fame running back Marshall Faulk's total. Kelce boasts an impressive career total of 6,158 yards after the catch, showcasing his exceptional combination of size, hands, and elusiveness over his decade-long NFL career.

This milestone further solidifies Kelce's status as a formidable tight end, capable of turning short passes into significant gains and a key component of the Chiefs' offensive strategy. The achievement adds to his already extensive list of accolades, which include the NFL record for career postseason games with 25 appearances, nine career postseason 100-yard games, and 35 career Super Bowl receptions.

Kelce's strong performance on Sunday was evident as he finished with a game-high nine receptions for 101 yards and a touchdown, leading the Kansas City Chiefs to a 33-30 overtime victory over the Indianapolis Colts. His wife, Taylor Swift, was seen cheering him on throughout the game, adding to the emotional significance of the occasion.

With this win, the Chiefs began their 2026 NFL season with a perfect 2-0 record, setting the stage for their next game against the Miami Dolphins on September 27.
