Raider killer Travis Kelce looks reborn

Chiefs’ star tight end is having a big start to 2026

Raider killer Travis Kelce looks reborn

Travis Kelce, the Pro Football Hall of Fame-bound tight end, appears to be reinvigorated as he makes a triumphant return to the field for the 2026 season. The 37-year-old Kelce, who has displayed signs of decline in recent years, has been rejuvenated and is currently leading the Chiefs to victory in their 2026 season opener.

The Chiefs, who are currently riding a perfect 3-0 record, have seen a resurgence in their star player's performance. Through just three games, Kelce has amassed an impressive 14 catches on 18 targets for a total of 231 yards and two touchdowns. With Patrick Mahomes leading the offense, the duo seems to be performing at an all-time high.

The Raiders, who suffered a hard-fought loss to the Chiefs in Las Vegas last season, will be keen on containing Kelce during their upcoming match. Kelce's affinity for facing off against the Raiders in Las Vegas makes this game particularly crucial for the Raiders. Kelce has already amassed 133 receptions for 1,648 yards and 12 touchdowns in 24 games against the Raiders, making him a formidable opponent for the Raiders to face.
