KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Travis Kelce broke the NFL record for most yards after the catch in history, passing Hall of Fame running back Marshall Faulk. The Chiefs tight end achieved the milestone in the second quarter of Sunday's overtime win against the Indianapolis Colts, catching an 11-yard pass from Patrick Mahomes. Kelce now has 6,287 yards after the catch in his 14-year career and leads the league this season with 128 such yards.\n\nCoach Andy Reid dismissed concerns about Kelce's wedding to Taylor Swift affecting his performance. "I know everybody questioned the wedding and all that.

Would he be out of shape and honeymooning the whole time? But he works his rear end off. [With] Taylor, you're putting on four-hour shows. I'm sure she kicks him in the butt a little bit there, too." Kelce entered training camp three weeks after the wedding and didn't miss a practice.\n\nKelce's average route speed this season is 11.56 miles per hour, his fastest since 2022. Against the Colts, he scored a 13-yard touchdown and finished with a game-high 101 receiving yards.

Mahomes threw for 382 yards and three touchdowns. The duo now has 23 games with Mahomes passing for 300-plus yards and Kelce receiving for 100-plus yards, second-most in NFL history behind Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski.
