The Chiefs superstar Travis Kelce has been making headlines after defeating their bitter rivals, Las Vegas Raiders. Every game between both teams is competitive on a very different level. The mind games start much before. However, Chiefdom is pumped as they won.
On the other hand, Kelce’s ex-girlfriend also went to watch an NFL game. But it was between the other rivals of Chiefs, the 49ers vs Cowboys. In recent years, the Niners have also become enemies after suffering the 2024 Super Bowl and week 7 defeat against back-to-back champions. While sharing an IG story with her friend, Nicole said, “It’s my favorite day of the week, Sunday Funday.”
Earlier in the day, Travis Kelce is coming back into the form the Chiefs needed him to be in. During the initial games, he was rusty. But the team never lost hope. Moreover, they always maintained that the veteran tight end is more important for them in the final stages and playoffs. Now their trust is paying them back. Kelce scored his first touchdown of 2024 against the Raiders. He had 10 receptions for 90 yards with one touchdown.

What made the week 8 game so special was his historical feat. He also made history. The seasoned player now has 75 touchdowns and is in the 5th position on the all-time list for most touchdowns by a TE. Travis Kelce already sits atop the list of most 100-yard receiving games (37) and 1,000-yard seasons (seven) by a tight end.
Travis Kelce has passed Jason Witten for the 5th-most as a TE in NFL history. He’s now 2 TDs shy of passing Tony Gonzalez for most in franchise history and 6 shy of passing Priest Holmes for the franchise record of most total career TDs. @ChiefsFocus pic.twitter.com/tlauehoHYV

Travis Kelce & co. takes revenge against the Raiders
Whenever both divisional rivals battle each other, there is always some friction. When Raiders defeated them 40-32 in 2020, then-Raiders coach Jon Gruden did a victory lap in the Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs then responded by winning the next 6 games straight. However, things started getting heated in the early offseason this year.
The Raiders first came up with Kermit the Frog, which infuriated the Chiefs’ locker room. And they wanted revenge. The week 8 game gave them the chance. It was a closely fought contest. In the 4th quarter, the Raiders were behind by only 4 points. But once the Chiefs scored the field goal and touchdown, the game was over there and then. The game made Kelce reignite his fire for success. And he is now looking in great shape.

And it would get a lot more exciting.
