Travis Kelce delivered an electrifying performance for the Kansas City Chiefs as they secured a 23-14 victory over the Houston Texans, advancing to the AFC championship game for the seventh consecutive season. With Taylor Swift and WNBA star Caitlin Clark cheering from the stands, Kelce caught seven passes for 117 yards and a touchdown, shattering several records along the way. "I feel like if you're going to step out here on the football field, you've always got something to prove," Kelce said, reflecting on his performance.

Swift arrived in Kansas City dressed in Chanel; she has been spending increased time in the city after wrapping up her Eras Tour and is often seen cheering for the Chiefs, who are gunning for an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl victory.

Kelce's playoff consistency remains undeniable: He has set records for the number of consecutive playoff games with at least 70 yards receiving (14 games) and has had 15 straight playoff games with at least five receptions. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes praised Kelce as a leader, noting, "This is what he lives for." Kelce is inching closer to breaking more of Jerry Rice's postseason records; 226 yards will put him ahead of Rice's postseason record of 2,245. (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot.
