Travis Kelce ties a Chiefs legend for most touchdowns in franchise history
Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce hasn’t made a decision about whether this will be his final season in the NFL.
But Kelce, who turned 36 earlier this month, is in the last year of his contract with the Chiefs, so there is no guarantee he’ll return for the 2026 season.
If this is Kelce’s last season, he’s going out by setting a number of Chiefs franchise records. Earlier this season, Kelce set the mark for all-purpose yards, passing Dante Hall.
Kelce also holds the team record for receptions, receiving yards and touchdown catches.
During Monday night’s game against the Washington Commanders, Kelce tied another franchise record. Kelce caught a 10-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter, and it was a milestone score.
That matched Chiefs legend Priest Holmes, who scored 83 career touchdowns (76 rushing, seven receiving) from 2001-‘07, for the most in franchise history.
Kelce had his 80th touchdown catch to go along with two rushing scores and a fumble recovery in the end zone.
Before the game, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes talked with ESPN’s Lisa Salters about Kelce being on the cusp of the record.
“He’s a guy who should have that record,” Mahomes said. “He’s put in the time, he’s put in the sweat, the blood, everything in there, to the Kansas City Chiefs organization. We’ll see if we can give him a touchdown, and if it’s not tonight, we’ll get it for the rest of the season.”
No need to wait. Kelce got it done Monday.
ESPN’s Joe Buck said it was Kelce’s 100th career touchdown, including the playoffs.
Dan Campbell Defies NFL Threats After Goff Controversy — ‘I Will Never Apologize.
Detroit, MI – What began as a simple officiating dispute has erupted into one of the biggest controversies of the 2025 NFL season. Following Jared Goff’s overturned touchdown in the Detroit Lions’ Week 6 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, head coach
Dan Campbell has made national headlines for refusing to apologize, despite NFL threats of fines and possible suspension.
The incident stems from a trick play at the goal line where Goff appeared to score on a pass from running back David Montgomery. After an extended review, officials overturned the touchdown, ruling that Goff committed
illegal motion. Campbell later suggested that the call had been “influenced by forces beyond the field,” implying interference from NFL headquarters in New York.
That accusation prompted a swift and harsh response from the league.
Pro Football Talk that Campbell was warned of a substantial fine and potential game-day suspension if he refused to retract his statement.
But rather than backing down, the Lions’ head coach stood tall and doubled down with a powerful message that quickly went viral across social media:
“I don’t regret losing a game — I regret seeing our team’s hard work being influenced by some unseen force. I will never apologize, no matter what threats of fines come my way. One thing’s certain: I will always stand up for my players and for the truth.”
The quote exploded online, praised by Lions fans and players alike as “pure Detroit energy.” Campbell’s defiance has only fueled the narrative of him as one of the league’s most fearless and emotionally driven leaders — a man willing to confront the NFL establishment head-on to defend his team.
While the league has not issued an official punishment yet, insiders suggest the NFL could still impose disciplinary measures before the Lions return from their bye week. For now, though, the franchise appears to be rallying behind its coach, embracing a
“us-against-the-world” mentality heading into the second half of the season.
Dan Campbell’s latest stand has once again captured the essence of Detroit football — gritty, unapologetic, and unbreakable. Whether or not the NFL acts, one thing is clear:
the Lions have found their fight — and their leader isn’t backing down.
