Superstar tight end Travis Kelce made history in the Kansas City Chiefs' Week 1 win over the Denver Broncos on 'Monday Night Football.'
Kelce needed just 45 yards to pass former Dallas Cowboys pass-catcher Jason Witten to take the No. 2 place on the NFL's all-time receiving leaderboard for tight ends. With his three-catch, 71-yard performance against Denver, Kelce easily passed Witten and now trails legendary former Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez for the top spot.
Kansas City's social media team commemorated Kelce's latest achievement in a post to the Chiefs' official Twitter account during the 'Monday Night Football' broadcast:

While some fans and pundits expected Kelce to slow
down as he entered his fourteenth season in Kansas City, the former Cincinnati Bearcat proved that he still has what it takes to consistently perform at an elite level with his outstanding showing in the Chiefs' Week 1 win over Denver.
