Travis Kelce showcased an unmatched desire for victory during the AFC Championship game against the Baltimore Ravens, highlighted by his record-breaking performance. With 11 catches for 116 yards and a touchdown, Kelce surpassed Jerry Rice for the most postseason catches in NFL history.

His exceptional play, including seven catches in the first half alone, contributed to his tie with Rice for the most playoff games with over 100 receiving yards. Kelce‘s postseason statistics continue to impress, solidifying his place among the NFL’s elite.

“Honestly, I could tell that he loved this victory more than any victory this season,” Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice said.

“Just ’cause we came in as outlaws and was able to come in and dominate as a team.”

Mahomes proud of his teammate

Patrick Mahomes and others in the league recognize and appreciate the remarkable connection between Kelce and the Chiefs‘ offense, akin to the legendary partnership between Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski.

“He loves the challenge,” Mahomes said.

“All week, and rightfully so, we heard about how great their defense was, and they were, I mean, they shut us out in the second half.

“But for Travis, that’s like, ‘All right, what can I do against this great defense?’ He has that mindset, and he led us like that.

“Every single practice, every single walk-through, he was focused in, he was locked in bringing energy, and it makes my job a lot easier when you have a guy that’s in that room, that tight end room, that receiving room, and he can lead those young guys and show ’em how we go and lead us to an AFC Championship.”
