Travis Kelce breaks own Chiefs record for most receiving yards in a game by a tight end

Travis Kelce of Westlake, Ohio had the best National Football League game of his career on Thursday night. In the process, he broke his own Kansas City Chiefs record for most receiving yards in a game by a tight end with 191 as the Chiefs defeated the Los Angeles Chargers 34-28 in overtime from SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, California according to the Kansas City Chiefs Media Guide. Kelce had the old record of 168 yards in a 40-33 win over the Oakland Raiders on December 2, 2018.

Kelce’s masterful night included 10 receptions and two touchdown catches. Kelce’s 191 receiving yards was the seventh most receiving yards by a tight end in a single game in NFL history. The only tight ends who have more receiving yards in a game are Shannon Sharpe of the Denver Broncos (214), Jackie Smith of the St. Louis Cardinals (212), George Kittle of the San Francisco 49ers (210), Rich Caster of the New York Jets and Pete Retzlaff of the Philadelphia Eagles (204), and Darren Waller of the Las Vegas Raiders (200). Waller had 200 yards in a game just last season in a 31-28 Las Vegas win over the New York Jets on December 6, 2020.

Kelce also has the fourth most receiving yards in a single game this season. The only three who have more are Davante Adams of the Green Bay Packers (206), Ja’Marr Chase of the Cincinnati Bengals (201), and Tyreek Hill of the Kansas City Chiefs (197).

The first time it happened came on that magical Monday nighter in 2018 when the Chiefs and Los Angeles Rams combined for 105 points, in a 54-51 Rams win. On that night, Hill had Kelce had 10 catches each. Hill had 215 yards, and Kelce had 127 yards.
