Travis Kelce Breaks Tight End Combined Receiving-Yards Record

The milestone highlights Kelce’s postseason production and underscores his continuing role as a primary target for the Chiefs.

Overview

  • Kelce passed Tony Gonzalez for the most receiving yards by a tight end when counting regular season and playoffs with a fourth-quarter catch on Sunday night against the Seattle Seahawks.
  • He entered the game needing roughly 35 yards and secured the lead on his third reception of the Week 7 contest at Lumen Field.
  • Kelce’s larger playoff totals — about 2,078 postseason yards compared with Gonzalez’s 286 — were decisive in surpassing Gonzalez’s combined 15,413 yards.
  • The same catch pushed Kelce to fifth on the NFL all-time receptions list with 1,103 career catches, moving him past Marvin Harrison.
  • At 37, Kelce remains a central contributor for Kansas City and can further increase both his regular-season and combined totals if he stays healthy and the Chiefs make more playoff runs.
