Is Travis Kelce playing? Chiefs star held without a catch in first quarter vs. Bengals

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce continues to make NFL history, this time with a crucial fourth-down conversion — and touchdown — against the Cincinnati Bengals that put the Chiefs up 13-3 on Sunday.

After passing Rob Gronkowski for the third highest receiving-yard total in NFL history in the first quarter, Kelce tied Gronkowski for a different honor with his touchdown catch in the second. With the Chiefs facing a fourth-and-1 at the Bengals’ 14-yard line, Kelce found space one-on-one in the back of the end zone. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes rolled to his right and extended the play before firing the ball to his trusty tight end, who hauled in the reception.

In both cases, yards and touchdowns, Jerry Rice ranks first on the all-time list. The NFL Hall of Fame wideout posted 2,245 receiving yards and 22 touchdowns in his postseason career. While Kelce’s early success was no surprise, there was a bit of drama surrounding his status for the game … although it was quickly quieted once Sunday rolled around.
