The records kept on falling for the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday against the Oakland Raiders.
After Tyreek Hill set the Chiefs’ single-season receiving record and Patrick Mahomes became just the third player in NFL history to score 50 touchdowns, Travis Kelce set the single-season yards record among tight ends.

Kelce eclipsed Rob Gronkowski’s number in 2011 with a 25-yard catch in the fourth quarter.
Kelce also set the Chiefs’ franchise record for most receptions in a single season. The Chiefs are well on their way to clinching the No. 1 seed in the AFC.
