For as much attention as Travis Kelce gets — positive, negative or otherwise — I’m not sure most people understand how high of a level he’s still playing at.
Some numbers to consider:
He’s 2nd among all tight ends in receiving yards this season — and 2nd in yards after the catch.
He already has more YAC than all of last year.
He’s scoring more touchdowns than he did last year.
He’s averaging 12.1 yards per reception, his most since 2022 (12.2 yards per reception).
And with 73 more yards, he joins Jerry Rice as the only players ever with 800 yards in 12 straight seasons.

I'm really proud of how I avoided catching the knife. Once we dropped below my extreme buy levels, I refrained from shorting and didn't get involved in any intraday shorts. Our hedges are already performing incredibly well.
I'll be sending out the weekly update either later today or by EOD tomorrow.
Looking forward to an exciting week ahead!
So, I've been thinking a lot about that viral Patrick Mahomes interceptions overturned by penalty statistic from the weekend. It felt like a bad-faith use of data. I went and took a closer look to see if that was true. 🧵
Congrats to the Kansas City @Chiefs, MVP Patrick Mahomes, Coach Reid, Travis Kelce, Chris Jones, Mecole Hardman, and the rest of the champs for another Lombardi Trophy. Grace under pressure.
"I enjoy this annual tradition of coming on First Take every fall and getting to be the person who says 'Are we really going to doubt the Kansas City Chiefs?'"
@minakimes breaks down the Chiefs' game and where they are headed this season 🔥
It was an indefensible performance from Kadarius Toney, but before you beat the guy up Chiefs fans, just remember that you probably don’t have that 3rd Lombardi without this. Let’s see how he bounces back. @KCSportsNetwork
Called some of Justyn Ross’ games in college
Seeing him in camp this season is so awesome. Man if he stays healthy what a boost to the SB champs and would be so incredible for him!
Patrick Mahomes has started 80 games
the Chiefs have only lost 2 of them by more than one score
2 of 80
by far the best rate of we've seen in NFL history
including the playoffs, only 3 of 96
at his worst, competitive
at his best, unbeatable
someone needs to see this today
Great move for KC. He’s a dynamic duo with Pacheco. Their skills complement each other well. Jet is also great at picking up blitzes.
Loved having him as a teammate in Minnesota.
