At this stage of his career, Travis Kelce has a chance to make history each time he steps on the field, and it’ll be no different when the Chiefs host the Texans on Sunday Night Football in Week 14.
You’ll have to keep your eyes on each part of Kelce’s receiving box score on Sunday night, so let’s walk through what’s on the line for each part.
In his career in primetime, Kelce has caught 351 passes – good for third most in NFL history. If he records another eight against the Texans, he’ll move past Hall of Famer Jerry Rice’s 358 for second most primetime catches in league history. Only Jason Witten, with 389 receptions in primetime games, has tallied more.
Kelce leads the Chiefs with 719 receiving yards this season, and with another 81 yards he’ll join Rice as the only two players in NFL history to record at least 800 receiving yards in 12 consecutive seasons.
And to top it off in the endzone, Kelce is one of only three tight ends in league history to catch at least 30 touchdown passes in primetime. His 30 late-night scores are tied with Witten for second most, and with another in Week 14, Kelce would tie Jimmy Graham‘s 31 for the most receiving touchdowns ever under the lights.
