Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce passed Rob Gronkowski to move into second all time in postseason receiving touchdowns with a first-quarter score in Sunday's 38-35 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.
Kelce's 18-yard touchdown Sunday was the 16th of his postseason career. He now only trails Pro Football Hall of Famer Jerry Rice on the all-time list. Rice caught 22 touchdowns over his decorated career.
The Chiefs tight end beat Eagles defensive back Marcus Epps on a route up the sideline before Patrick Mahomes floated the touchdown pass into Kelce's arms. The touchdown was Kansas City's first score of Super Bowl LVII and answered the Eagles' opening-drive touchdown.
Kelce ended Super Bowl LVII as Kansas City's leading receiver with 81 yards on six receptions.
The 33-year-old's Super Bowl performance capped off an impressive playoff run. Kelce put up 257 receiving yards and four touchdowns during over three playoff games this season.
