Travis Kelce Ties Chiefs Touchdown Mark in 28–7 Monday Night Win

Patrick Mahomes threw three scores and secured the keepsake ball as ESPN briefly showed Taylor Swift during Kelce’s celebration.

Overview

  • Kansas City beat Washington 28-7 to move to 5-3, with Mahomes rebounding from two early interceptions to finish 25-of-34 for 299 yards and three touchdowns.
  • Kelce’s 10-yard third-quarter catch was his 83rd regular-season touchdown, tying Priest Holmes for the most in Chiefs history and giving him 100 career receiving TDs including playoffs.
  • The tight end totaled six receptions for 99 yards, and his milestone places him among the few NFL tight ends with at least 80 career receiving touchdowns.
  • Mahomes retrieved the touchdown ball for Kelce and later called him the “true Chiefs’ Chief,” praise echoed by Andy Reid, who lauded Kelce’s energy and longevity.
  • Swift, who has kept a lower profile at games this season, was briefly shown on ESPN in a suite as fans noted Kelce’s celebration appeared to nod to choreography from her new music video, and the Chiefs now visit the Bills in Week 9.
