With 13:30 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Kelce surpassed the 100-yard mark with an 18-yard reception that put the ball on the Texans’ 8-yard line.
The catch helped Kelce pass NFL wide receiver legend Jerry Rice for the most 100-yard receiving games in NFL postseason history with nine.
In that same drive, Kelce would continue his stellar day, recording an 11-yard touchdown pass as Patrick Mahomes was falling to the ground.
The touchdown gave the Chiefs a 20-12 lead, and Andy Reid’s squad would secure the victory later on.
NFL fans shared messages to Kelce concerning his playoff receiving record.
“Kelce is the goat at TE. No doubt!” one wrote.
“What a career for Travis,” another commented.
“Congrats to him” a third added.
Kelce had already broken Rice’s postseason receptions record last season.
The 35-year-old also has the most receptions and receiving yards by a tight end in playoff history.

During the game, Kelce surpassed 2,000 postseason-receiving yards – a feat that only Rice has previously achieved.
The 10-time Pro Bowler also became only the third player in NFL history with at least 100 receptions (postseason included) in seven seasons, joining Rice and Arizona Cardinals icon Larry Fitzgerald.
Entering the postseason, however, Kelce experienced one of the worst seasons in his career in 2024.
He recorded career lows in receiving yards (823) and touchdowns (3).
