Playoff Travis Kelce was on full display on Saturday. 

There was no stopping the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, who finished the game with seven receptions for 117 yards and one touchdown.

While many have been very critical of Kelce's performance this season, his coaches and teammates never had a doubt. They know he's a difference maker. 

"Offensively, we probably need to start with Trav (Travis Kelce)," head coach Andy Reid said in his opening statement. "With seven catches for 117 yards (and) a touchdown, he just – that’s why he’s the greatest tight end there has been."

All season, Reid never had a doubt that Kelce still was able to play. And this game was proof. 

Specifically, the tight end hauled in a 49-yard reception, marking his longest postseason reception of his career. 

“Yeah, he (Travis Kelce) can still play," the Chiefs head coach stated with a laugh. "He’s alright.”

Mahomes completely agreed, and knew that team's are never ready for Kelce in the postseason. 

“I told Carson (Wentz) – I said, ‘Those tackles that tackle him (Travis Kelce) in the regular season don’t tackle him in the playoffs.’ He did a good job, he caught the ball, he got off the tackle, broke another tackle and then hit it down the field," Mahomes explained. "He was trying to get the knees up, but I was glad he got us close enough that we were able to get in the end zone.”

He saw the way the defense line up and knew that it was a good sign for Kelce. 

“Yeah, it was – they (the Texans) brought the safety on a pressure and once they did that, I know he (Travis Kelce) was one-on-one with a linebacker and so those are those matchups you’d look for," he added. "They kind of try to zone it off and he just got right in the window right behind the linebackers and that’s what he’s done for his entire career.”

The tight end continue to add to his resume with such a strong performance. 

Kelce also crossed 2,000 career receiving yards in the postseason. He joined WR Jerry Rice (2,245) as the only players to reach that mark. And with that, he also recorded over 100 receiving yards for the game, marking his 9th career 100-yard game in the postseason. 

That's not all. He also got his 20th career touchdown reception in the postseason. Kelce only trails WR Jerry Rice (22) for the most playoff touchdown catches in NFL history.  

In short, his ability to dominate in the playoffs is unmatched. 

“I mean, it’s simple. People say – it’s real, it’s big-time players make big-time plays in big-time games and that’s just how simple it is," Mahomes said. "He’s (Travis Kelce) one of those guys, he doesn’t let the moment be bigger than what it is, he just goes up there and executes at a high level just like he does in the regular season. He just does that (at) a little bit higher intensity.”

There's no stopping him. 

“Yeah, it’s Playoff Trav (Travis Kelce). I mean, he just – he’s a leader, man," Mahomes continued. "This is what he lives for is playing in these moments, having the chance to make big-time plays and he goes out there and does that and it seems like he does it every single playoff game.”

Now they just need another performance like that in the AFC Championship.
