After the game, Mahomes spoke highly of Kelce, who had a very impressive showing against the Washington Commanders on Monday night.
Along with his record-tying touchdown, Kelce finished the night with six receptions on eight targets for 99 yards, marking his best game of the season.
“Yeah, I mean, I mean, he’s, that’s the true Chief of Chiefs, man,” Mahomes said. “I mean, he is the guy that was here before me, sets the culture. He’s the guy that is in the building early, in the building late. And he is the leader of this team.”
However, Mahomes is already looking ahead and is ready for Kelce to claim that record for himself.
“So to be able to get him that record tying it, let’s go out there and break it now.”
