It certainly may have been true that Oct. 27, 2024’s early-morning slate was littered with celebratory snags from the NFL’s big-bodied receivers — but “National Tight Ends Day” couldn’t reasonably begin until Kansas City’s No. 87 offered his input first. Prepared for go-ahead touchdowns in more ways than one, Travis Kelce aligned in a condensed formation, ultimately locating an open, in-breaking void amidst middle-of-the-field chaos, collecting touchdown No. 75 of his Canton-bound career. Kelce’s timeless play both put the Chiefs in front on the scoreboards, and allowed him NFL history’s No. 5 spot on the tight end touchdowns leaderboard. In his most statistically-productive game of 2024-25 to date, Kelce vacuumed in 10 receptions (on 12 targets), alongside 90 yards and a touchdown, fueling a 27-20 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
