KELCE MAKES MILESTONE START, EXTENDS CATCH STREAK: TE Travis Kelce made his 100th career start in today’s contest at Tampa Bay. He has started 100 of the 107 career games he’s appeared in and has started in 58 consecutive games that he’s been active in dating back to Week 1 of the 2017 season (9/7/17 at New England). Kelce finished the game with eight receptions for 82 yards, extending his streak of consecutive games with a reception to 106 games. That mark is the second-best mark in franchise history (Tony Gonzalez, 131 games) and is tied for the fifth-longest active streak in the NFL with Browns WR Jarvis Landry. Kelce owns 74 receptions for 978 yards in 2020, needing just 22 yards to record his fifth-consecutive 1,000-yard season, which would extend his current NFL record streak of 1,000-yard seasons by a tight end, which sits at four seasons. Kelce’s 978 receiving yards are the second-most by any pass catcher in the 2020 season, and he trails only teammate Tyreek Hill (1,021).

With today’s game, along with his 10-reception, 215-yard, two-touchdown performance at Los Angeles in 2018, Hill becomes the sixth player in NFL history with two-career games of at least 10 receptions, at least 200 receiving yards and at least two receiving touchdowns, joining PFHOFs Don Hutson and Jerry Rice, as well as Amari Cooper, Chad Johnson and Art Powell, per NFL Research.

His three touchdowns are tied for the third-most touchdown receptions in a single game in franchise history and tie a single-game career high for Hill who also recorded three receiving touchdowns at New England on Oct. 14, 2018. It was the 12th time – by eight different players – that an individual had three or more touchdown receptions in a single game. WR Sammy Watkins was the last player to accomplish the feat prior to today, doing so with three scoring receptions at Jacksonville on Sept. 8, 2019.

It marks his third-consecutive game with 100 or more receiving yards, tying for the third-longest streak of 100-yard receiving games in team history. He becomes the eighth player in franchise history to record 100 or more receiving yards in at least three straight games and joins TE Travis Kelce who already had a streak of three 100-yard receiving games this season (11/1 vs. New York Jets, 11/8 vs. Carolina, 11/22 at Las Vegas). They are the first teammates to accomplish the feat in the same season.
