Kelce Could Break Historic Wide Receiver Record When Chiefs Face Texans…See More

The Kansas City Chiefs return to the national stage this Sunday night with more than playoff positioning on the line, as Travis Kelce once again steps into a moment where history is within reach.

Kansas City hosts the Houston Texans in a Week 14 primetime matchup that continues one of the quietly most familiar cross-conference showdowns in the NFL.

These teams will meet for the 11th time since 2015, including postseason games, making it one of the most frequent non-division matchups of the past decade. With the spotlight comes another opportunity for Kelce to further cement his legacy among the greatest pass-catchers the league has ever seen.

At this stage of his career, nearly every notable night for Kelce seems to bring a milestone with it, and Sunday appears no different. In primetime games alone, Travis has already logged 351 receptions, which ranks third in NFL history. If he manages eight catches against the Texans, he will surpass Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice, who finished his career with 358 primetime receptions.

Only former Cowboys tight end Jason Witten, with 389, currently stands ahead of Kelce on that all-time list. For a player who entered the league at the tight end position, passing a name like Rice in any receiving category underscores just how unique Kelce’s career has become.
