Travis Kelce is now the NFL record-holder for most passes caught in the postseason.
Kelce set the record during the first half of the Kansas City Chiefs’ visit to the Baltimore Ravens for the AFC Championship Game on Sunday, as the veteran tight end was dominant in helping his team claim a 17-7 halftime lead.
Trailing only Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice for the record heading into Sunday’s contest, Kelce was the focus of much of Chiefs’ quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ offense, allowing the 34-year-old to pull level with Rice before surpassing him in short order.
In the second quarter, Kelce caught playoff pass No. 152 of his career to take sole possesion of the milestone.
Kelce’s first-half stats were something to behold, with nine receptions for 96 yards and a touchdown, but his personal highlight of the game (so far) was a seemingly impossible diving catch he made to earn a first down.
