Ah, the life of a Kansas City Chiefs fan – it’s never a dull moment. When you thought the team had it all figured out, an unexpected twist throws a curveball into the mix.

The game was a nail-biter for Chiefs fans. After the match Charles Goldman shared on his X handle, Patrick Mahomes’ thoughts on Travis Kelce’s impressive 14 receptions. Mahomes said, “I didn’t realize he had that many catches” For a player like Patrick, it seems like every milestone is just a stepping stone, and he’s always looking to push himself and other players to improve even more. He also mentioned that he could have sworn that Kelce had a game with 16 receptions.

What’s the secret behind Patrick’s unwavering faith in Kelce? Let’s dive into the jaw-dropping stats behind his legendary receptions!

Travis Kelce, who had yet another impressive game that even caught Mahomes off guard. This marked the second time in Kelce’s career that he recorded double-digit catches in back-to-back weeks. In 2018, he kicked things off with ten catches for 127 yards against the Rams, then followed it up with 12 catches for 168 yards against the Raiders.

In the postseason, Kelce has achieved the milestone of 10 or more catches in six different games, including a remarkable stretch where he reached that mark in consecutive weeks. Notably, he had 13 receptions for 118 yards in the 2020 AFC Championship Game against Buffalo on January 24, 2021, and recorded 10 catches for 133 yards in a Super Bowl LV loss to Tampa Bay.

But what he’s pulling off now is even more impressive, wrapping up with 100 yards on 14 catches. That brings his career total to 38 games with 100 yards or more—an amazing achievement in both regular and playoff games.

Justin Reid wisely noted, “When the spotlight is on, Trav discovers the fountain of youth.” Undeniable Kelce, whose timely performances elevate him to the elite ranks of the league, proving he is the backbone of the Chiefs in their most critical moments.

Now hold up on the Kelce talk! Right now, it’s all about Mahomes and his injury—how likely is he to make a comeback in the upcoming games?
