Overview

  • NFL+ confirmed Kelce moved past Jason Witten for the second-most receiving yards in primetime games in NFL history.
  • The Chiefs tight end posted a season high with 6 receptions for 78 yards, serving as a key target for Patrick Mahomes.
  • A third-quarter Kelce grab drew complaints from viewers who believed the ball hit the ground as Kansas City hurried the next snap before any review.
  • Detroit’s opening-drive touchdown on a David Montgomery pass to Jared Goff was wiped out for illegal motion after officials conferred, a ruling NBC’s Terry McAulay explained on air.
  • Earlier this month, Kelce set the mark for most receptions by a tight end through 13 seasons, and Tony Gonzalez remains the only tight end ahead of him in career receiving yards at 15,127.
