Travis Kelce Makes NFL History, Shattering All-Time Record in AFC Championship Game

Not even halfway through the AFC Championship Game in Baltimore, Travis Kelce broke Jerry Rice’s record for most postseason receptions in NFL history.

The 34-year-old went into Sunday’s game with 145 receptions, 1,694 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns in his playoff career, trailing the Hall of Famer Rice in each category.

With seven early catches, Kelce brought his tally up to 152, surpassing Rice’s 151 before halftime. Kelce also scored the game’s first points with a touchdown, bringing him eight shy of Rice’s 29 playoff touchdown receptions.

Kelce achieved the feat in front of his family and popstar girlfriend Taylor Swift, who is attending her 12th Chiefs game of the season.

After breaking the record, the NFL shared a graphic which referenced Swift’s 2022 album ‘Midnights’ to honor Kelce’s achievement. The rendition, which they captioned ‘Playoff Receptions Record (Travis’ Version)’ featured a closeup picture of Kelce, with the text written in Chiefs colors and a picture of Rice on the left hand side.
