Travis Kelce Picked Over Rob Gronkowski as Patrick Mahomes & the Chiefs TE  Break Tom Brady’s Record

In the latest postseason feat, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce showcased their unmatched synergy by setting an iconic record in the Kansas City Chiefs Divisional Round triumph over the Buffalo Bills. This landmark achievement now places the Mahomes-Kelce duo at the top, surpassing the previous record held by Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski for the most playoff scores by a quarterback-receiver pair in NFL history.

The pivotal three-yard touchdown reception by Kelce occurred in the third quarter, propelling the Chiefs to a three-point lead and ultimately securing their spot in the AFC Championship Game for the sixth consecutive year. Luke Willson recently joined forces with Jay Onrait to discuss the enduring success of Mahomes and Kelce. However, according to the duo, it is Kelce who continues to redefine playoff excellence, leaving an indelible mark on the NFL record books.

“Greatest pass-catching Titan of all time,”: Willson and Onrait side with Kelce

Travis Kelce ended a seven-game touchdown drought with two significant scores, bringing his total to 17 career playoff touchdowns. Amidst ongoing debates about the title of the ‘greatest tight end,’ Kelce is now within reach of Hall of Famer Jerry Rice’s postseason record of 22 touchdowns. Luke Willson and Jay Onrait labeled Kelce as the “Greatest pass-catching Titan of all time” who has performed when his team needed it the most. “This guy made so many big plays in the game, especially early. And it was great to see. You gotta respect it,” the duo concluded. Kelce’s ability to outperform others amidst speculations of “retirement” is something that sets him above the rest. 

On the other side, Patrick Mahomes displayed his playoff prowess by completing 17 of 23 passes for 215 yards and delivering two crucial touchdown throws in his inaugural playoff game on the road. Looking forward, the dynamic duo aims for more records, including the possibility of matching Brady and Gronkowski’s four Super Bowl titles.

The historic moment unfolded in the second quarter when Mahomes threaded a 22-yard pass to Kelce, propelling the Chiefs to a 12-10 lead. Their second touchdown tandem in the following period, featuring a short pass and a determined run by Kelce, not only secured the victory but also established a record with their 16th postseason touchdown.
