Andy Reid commented on the key to Travis Kelce's great career and the importance of the Kansas City Chiefs veteran's role in the 2024 NFL postseason. The Kansas City Chiefs will play in their seventh consecutive AFC Conference Final when they take on the Buffalo Bills this Sunday.
Refreshed for the playoffs, tight end Travis Kelce had seven catches for 117 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 23-14 divisional round win over the Texans.
In the postseason, however, both players came alive. Kelce turned the clock all the way back by hauling in 32 passes on 37 targets for 355 yards and three touchdowns. He capped off his age-34 season by helping propel Kansas City to a Super Bowl LVIII win, prompting the club to set that as the benchmark for his 2024-25 production.

Rice leads all players in NFL history with 22 receiving touchdowns in the playoffs. In the divisional round of the playoffs, Kelce added another touchdown to his ledger, giving him 20 all-time — and three away from claiming the new receiving touchdowns record.
After appearing in all four postseason games for the Chiefs last season, Kelce's girlfriend, Taylor Swift, made her return to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium for the start of the new playoff run. This marked the 21st Kansas City game that Swift has attended since her relationship with Kelce began in September 2023.

If the wild-card round was anything to go by, the NFL playoffs are about to get a lot spicier in the divisional round.
Kelce already is the record holder for career postseason receptions with 165. That’s already 14 more than second-place Jerry Rice, the former San Francisco 49ers star. Ex-Patriots receiver Julian Edelman is third on the list with 118. Tyreek Hill is the only other active player in the top 10 and he’s fifth with 96.
