Kylie Kelce congratulated her brother-in-law, Travis Kelce, for reaching a major career milestone before directing a brutal dig at the Dallas Cowboys.
During the Kansas City Chiefs’ 22-19 defeat to the Denver Broncos in Week 11, Travis etched his name in the history books upon becoming the all-time franchise touchdown leader. With just over 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, the star tight end reeled in a short pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes before rumbling 21 yards into the end zone for his 84th career score.
On the latest episode of the ‘Not Gonna Lie’ podcast, Kylie offered Travis his due praise for pulling off the incredible feat. “First of all, congratulations to Travis on the franchise touchdown record,” she began.
“For those of you who don’t understand what an accomplishment that is … that stat means that every other player that has played for the Chiefs organization has never had a touchdown record for the Chiefs as much as Travis has now scored.
“So Travis now owns the record of how many touchdowns he has made for the Chiefs franchise in his career.”
Though Kylie asserted that it would be hard for any player to break Travis’ record, she swiftly walked back the declaration for fear of jinxing the 36-year-old. “So that is an unbelievable feat, something that will be very difficult to get dethroned from knock on wood,” Kylie said. “Oh, that was questionable. Sorry Trav, sorry Trav. I fixed it. But seriously, very impressive.”
Speaking to reporters during a postgame press conference, Mahomes similarly gave Travis his flowers. “He deserves it, the work he puts in every day,” the signal-caller said.
“He’s a leader, man. It just speaks to the person that he is that he’s able to go out there and break that record. That was a great play in a big moment in the game. That’s when he usually makes his big plays.”
