The Kansas City Chiefs bounced back strong on Sunday after a two-game skid. They defeated the New York Jets 35-12 at Arrowhead Stadium, with Travis Kelce among a few players who shined the brightest. The team reacted to his career development with a social media post.
Kelce finished with four receptions on six targets for 72 yards, including 57 yards after catch. He added one rush for one yard and one touchdown. Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes completed 23-of-31 passes for 242 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions. Kenneth Walker III led the backfield’s attack with 18 rushing attempts for 102 yards and one score.

It was exactly what the doctor ordered for the Chiefs. They started the season 5-0 before losing back-to-back fixtures, dropping them to second place in the AFC West. They will have a chance to tie the division-leading Denver Broncos with another victory in Week 10.
The Chiefs uploaded a video of Kelce’s Week 9 highlights on Instagram. They also indicated in the caption that his strong performance came on his 200th career NFL game.
“@killatrav put on a show for his 200th career game
,” the team wrote.
Kelce has spent his entire professional career with the franchise. He entered the league as the No. 63 overall pick in the third round in 2013 out of Cincinnati. The tight end has since established himself as one of the best players of all-time at his position. He has won three Super Bowls and earned four first-team All-Pro honors, along with 11 Pro Bowl nods.
