Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs are heading to their seventh straight AFC Championship Game. Kelce helped the Chiefs defeat the Houston Texans 23-14 in the Divisional Round behind a historic performance from Kansas City’s tight end.
Following the AFC matchup, Kelce met with Texans tight end Dalton Schultz at midfield, where the two shared a handshake, and Houston’s offensive star sent a message to the Chiefs tight end. “You are a walking legend man,” Schultz said. “A walking legend.”
WSchultz finished his final game of the season with 63 yards on four receptions. While the veteran tight end had a solid outing, it wasn’t enough to stop the AFC juggernaut.

Kelce finished the matchup with one touchdown and 117 yards on seven receptions. He led the Chiefs’ receiving corps in all three categories. The legendary tight end helped Kansas City produce 212 yards of total offense to go along with 14 first-down conversions and a 4-of-11 third-down efficiency.
Kelce recorded his ninth career playoff game of 100 or more receiving yards, the most of any NFL player in the history of the league, per ESPN BET.
Kelce has truly cemented himself as a legend, helping push Kansas City’s record to 16-2 on the season as the Chiefs attempt to secure their third straight Super Bowl title.
