Travis Kelce moved into second all-time in receiving yards by a tight end on Monday night when he made a 59-yard catch in the third quarter and wife whipped Taylor Swift into a frenzy in his box at Arrowhead Stadium.
Kelce had only made one six-yard catch before that, but Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes found his trusted target for the pass, and the tight end took off.
Kelce slipped one tackle and found plenty of running room from there before he was finally taken down at the 5-yard line.
The “Monday Night Football” broadcast quickly cut to Kelce’s box, where Swift, who married the NFL star in July at Madison Square Garden, could be seen jumping up and down.
Another six-yard pass in the fourth quarter put Kelce at 13,073 career receiving yards and moved him ahead of former Cowboys tight end Jason Witten, who had 13,046.
Kelce is only behind former Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez, who had 15,127 yards during his career, on the all-time list.
Swift wasn’t the only member of the Kelce clan in the suite on Monday, as brother Jason Kelce and mother Donna Kelce joined her in applauding the moment Travis moved up in NFL history.
Monday’s 31-10 win over the Broncos was the first Chiefs game Swift attended since the couple wed over the summer. Kenneth Walker III rushed for 173 yards and a touchdown in his Chiefs debut, while adding 18 receiving yards and another score,
Kelce and Swift’s romance has been one of the biggest stories in the NFL as the football star courted one of the biggest pop icons on the planet.
She had also been spotted sitting next to Tom Cruise earlier on Monday.
The football broadcast was not the only place that Swift and Kelce appeared on Monday night.
Swift made a cameo in a pre-recorded sketch for the Emmys broadcast on NBC, which included several references to Kelce.
