Travis Kelce Becomes Chiefs’ TD Leader as Playoff Pressure Mounts

Kansas City's 6-6 record heightens scrutiny of an offense still leaning on its veteran tight end.

Overview

  • Kelce’s Week 13 line was five catches for 45 yards and a touchdown in the Thanksgiving loss to the Cowboys that left Kansas City at 6-6.
  • The tight end now holds the franchise mark with 85 regular-season touchdowns, rising to 101 when counting the postseason.
  • His latest score pushed him to 522 career points, the most by a non-kicker in Chiefs history, surpassing Ryan Succop.
  • Patrick Mahomes and Kelce have connected for 59 touchdowns, the most by a quarterback-pass catcher duo in team history.
  • Analysts warn the attack remains too dependent on Kelce as younger receivers lag in production, and reporting indicates he will weigh a 2026 return after the season.
