The legend of Travis Kelce continues to grow — and now, it’s officially written in Kansas City history books.
With his latest touchdown, Kelce has tied franchise icon Priest Holmes for the most total touchdowns in Kansas City Chiefs history, with 83. The moment came in classic Kelce fashion — a smooth route, perfect timing with quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and a roar from Arrowhead Stadium that could be heard across the Midwest.
For over a decade, Holmes’ record stood as one of the most respected marks in franchise history. The former running back, who dominated the early 2000s, was known for his relentless drive and nose for the end zone. But on this night, another Chiefs legend rose to meet him.
“It’s surreal,” Kelce said after the game. “Priest Holmes is one of the greats — a guy who helped define this organization. To even be mentioned alongside him is an honor.”
Kelce’s touchdown wasn’t just another score — it was a statement. It marked yet another milestone in a career that’s already redefining what’s possible for a tight end in the modern NFL. With Mahomes at the helm and Andy Reid calling the plays, the duo has made history look routine, turning every Sunday into a showcase of chemistry and precision.
Across social media, the celebration was instant. Chiefs fans flooded timelines with messages like “83 and counting!” and “Kelce the GOAT!” Even former teammates and NFL legends joined in, calling it “a record that couldn’t belong to a better player.”
At 35, Kelce shows no signs of slowing down. He remains Mahomes’ most trusted target and one of the most dangerous offensive weapons in football. And now, with one more touchdown, he’ll stand alone — the undisputed touchdown king of Kansas City.
From Priest Holmes’ power runs to Kelce’s precise routes, two generations of greatness are now forever linked. One record, two legends, and a city that knows how to celebrate both.
