Kelce Ties Chiefs Touchdown Record in Dominant 28-7 Victory
28 Oct
Summary
- Kelce's 10-yard TD ties franchise record
- Mahomes and Kelce join elite QB-TE duo
- Defensive end Danna makes key plays
On Monday night, the Kansas City Chiefs cruised to a 28-7 victory over the Washington Commanders, led by a vintage performance from tight end Travis Kelce. Kelce, who had a 1-yard loss on the Chiefs' opening drive, bounced back to record six receptions for 99 yards, including a 10-yard touchdown late in the third quarter.
Kelce's touchdown was historic, as it tied him with former running back Priest Holmes for the most total touchdowns in Chiefs franchise history at 83. The duo of Kelce and quarterback Patrick Mahomes also joined an elite group, becoming just the third quarterback-tight end combination in NFL history to record 75 touchdowns together, including the playoffs.
The Chiefs' defense also played a key role in the victory, with defensive end Mike Danna making several impactful plays. Danna intercepted a pass on the Commanders' opening drive and later recorded his first sack of the season, pushing Washington out of field goal range. The Chiefs' defense has improved in recent weeks, and they will look to continue that trend as they prepare to face the Buffalo Bills next Sunday.
