KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Chiefs star Travis Kelce reached another milestone in his illustrious career Monday night against the Denver Broncos, passing Jason Witten to move into second all time in receiving yards for a tight end.
Kelce, 36, reached the feat in style, too.
Late in the third quarter, the 13-year veteran caught a short pass against the Broncos' blitz, broke a tackle and sprinted up the field for a 59-yard reception, the longest completion of the game to that point for quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
"I had guys blocking for me downfield, man," Kelce said, smiling. "It's a beautiful thing when you've got the cavalry out in front, man. I've just got to find a way to get my ass in the end zone."
Following the highlight play, Kelce's wife, Taylor Swift, and his brother, Jason, celebrated together in a suite inside Arrowhead Stadium.
Entering Monday's game, Kelce needed 44 yards to pass Witten (13,046). He finished with three receptions for 71 yards in Kansas City's 31-10 win and now stands at 13,073 yards for his career.
Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez has the most yards ever for a tight end with 15,127.
