In a Christmas Day victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Travis Kelce etched his name into Kansas City Chiefs history. His fourth-quarter touchdown reception, the 77th of his career, surpassed Tony Gonzalez for the franchise record. In a nod to the legendary tight end, Kelce celebrated by dunking the football over the goalpost, drawing a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.
This celebratory act triggered a promise made by Gonzalez earlier in the day. During the Prime Video pregame show, Gonzalez had pledged to cover any fine incurred by Kelce if he mimicked Gonzalez's signature dunk celebration. True to his word, Gonzalez confirmed his intention to pay after Kelce playfully called him out on social media.
The Chiefs secured a dominant 29-10 win over the Steelers, fueled by Patrick Mahomes' three touchdowns and over 300 passing yards. Kelce's record-breaking performance added another layer of significance to the victory.
Gonzalez expressed his admiration for Kelce, calling him one of the greatest tight ends ever, both on and off the field. He emphasized his long-standing respect for Kelce's career, noting that his achievement comes as no surprise.
