Chiefs' Travis Kelce Dominates Against Commanders in 28-7 Victory
Travis Kelce put on a show for the Kansas City Chiefs, recording six receptions for 99 yards and a season-best performance against the Washington Commanders on Monday night. The tight end's vintage display powered the Chiefs to a 28-7 victory.
The unlikely start to their relationship began when Kelce caught a pass from Patrick Mahomes in the first quarter, only to have it intercepted by linebacker Bobby Wagner. However, that marked the beginning of a different story. On the next play, Mahomes put the ball in Kelce's hands once again, and this time, it resulted in a 10-yard touchdown late in the third quarter.
The 83rd career score for Kelce tied former running back Priest Holmes for the most total touchdowns in Chiefs franchise history, solidifying his place as one of the team's top playmakers. What was even more impressive was Kelce's performance on a crucial play-action snap early in the third quarter. He leaked out after blocking for a wide-open 38-yard gain that rumbled into the red zone.
The duo's chemistry is undeniable, and they are now just the third quarterback-tight end combination to record 75 touchdowns in NFL history. Mahomes and Kelce have taken their relationship to new heights, showcasing a depth of trust and understanding that is rare in the sport.
In other news from the game, Chiefs' defensive end Mike Danna had a memorable night, collecting his first interception and sack of the season. The five-year veteran played a pivotal role in securing the win for Kansas City.
The Commanders' struggles continued as they fell to 3-5 after Monday's loss. Despite moving the ball effectively in the first half, their inability to capitalize on fourth-down conversions ultimately proved costly. Washington has upcoming home games against the Seattle Seahawks and Detroit Lions, but injuries have taken a toll on the team.
Quarterback Marcus Mariota completed 21-of-30 passes for 213 yards and one touchdown but struggled with key drops and interceptions. The biggest hole in their game plan remains the struggling run game, which needs to be revamped quickly.
The Chiefs will look to build on this victory when they face off against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

- gets better with age! That guy's got some serious skills and chemistry with Mahomes is everything 
. I'm loving how he's breaking records left and right, but it's not just about him, the whole team's clicking. Mike Danna's sack was a game-changer too 
, that defense is looking strong. The Commanders need to step up their game if they wanna make a run for the playoffs... or at least not be stuck in last place 
. It's like they're speaking a different language out there 
. The way he leaked out for that 38-yard gain was pure magic 
. I'm loving the trust and understanding between them, it's so rare in the NFL 
️. And can we talk about Mike Danna's game-saving sack? 
He's definitely on my fantasy team now 
! The Commanders are just struggling to get their act together 
. They need to fix that run game ASAP or it's gonna be a long season for them 
. Bring on the Chiefs vs Bills matchup next week, I'm hyped 
!

I'm loving every minute of it! 
Danna's interception and sack were huge too, the whole team played well but Kelce was on fire 
! He's like a new man out there on the field, unstoppable 
. And that chemistry with Mahomes? Unbeatable 
. They're like two peas in a pod, you know? 
It's crazy to think they've already got 75 touchdowns together – that's just insane 
Mike Danna was a beast out there, though 
. Can't wait for next week's game against the Bills 
so what's up with this Mahomes-Kelce combo? it's like they're speaking a different language out there 
. I mean, Kelce's been playing some sick tight end all season, but to see him and Mahomes gel like that is just wild 
. And have you noticed how many injuries are piling up on that team? It's like they're getting picked apart by the Chiefs 
. I mean, 6 receptions for 99 yards is no joke, but when you factor in the touchdowns, he's basically a game-changer. and Mahomes isn't too shabby either, the dude can move! it's crazy to think they're now just 3 QBs-tight ends combos with over 75 TDs in NFL history 
anyway, I'm loving how Kelce broke that record for most touchdowns in Chiefs franchise history 
they need to work on those fourth-down conversions ASAP 
and their run game is straight trash 
can't wait to see what's next for the Chiefs against the Bills 
! i love how they're breaking records together, 75 touchdowns and counting 
. and Mike Danna's first interception and sack of the season? YAAAS, what an awesome night for the Chiefs 
. And can we talk about Mike Danna's impressive night? First interception and sack of the season? Yessss, he's on fire 
. Injuries and struggling run game are taking a toll on them. They need to revamp their strategy ASAP 
. Bring it on against the Bills next week!
So Travis Kelce finally did something right on the field and it's kinda awesome? I mean, 6 receptions for 99 yards isn't bad, but it's not like he broke any records or anything 
. And omg, Patrick Mahomes is basically his personal chef at this point, who even needs a quarterback when you have a tight end with such amazing hands? 
now we just gotta see how the chiefs take this win to buffalo against the bills 
, have you tried it? I had a weird craving for Korean BBQ last night and now I'm thinking of making some kimchi stew this weekend 
. Anyway, back to football... I love how Travis Kelce is killing it on the field, but what's up with all these penalties in the NFL lately? Like, can't they just play clean ball for once? 
! he's like a different player out there with mahomes, it's like they have that special connection or something 
. the chiefs are looking strong this season and i think they've got a good shot at making it to the playoffs 
. That 38-yard gain was pure magic
