Kansas City Chiefs fans witnessed history on Monday night — and a touching show of brotherhood between two NFL legends.
During the Chiefs’ 28–7 victory over the Commanders, Patrick Mahomes fired a third-quarter touchdown pass to Travis Kelce, marking Kelce’s 83rd career TD — tying franchise legend Priest Holmes for the most touchdowns in Chiefs history.
As the crowd erupted, Mahomes quietly picked up the touchdown ball — not for himself, but for his teammate.
“He’s breaking all the records now,” Mahomes said. “He’s all about the team, so I wanted to make sure he gets that [ball]. Hopefully, we can get another ball for him later this season when he breaks the record.”
Kelce, now in his 13th NFL season, nearly retired during the offseason but chose to return — possibly for one last run. And Mahomes made it clear how much his teammate means to the team’s legacy:
“He’s the true Chiefs’ Chief,” Mahomes said proudly. “He’s been here through it all, helped set the culture with Coach Reid, and showed what it means to play for Kansas City. I was lucky to come in and have that guy to rely on.”
💪 From setting records to setting standards, Kelce’s story isn’t done yet.
Next up: a showdown with Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills — and another chance for Kelce to make history.
