Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had himself a heck of a day on Sunday, catching 12 passes for 179 yards and a touchdown in Kansas City’s 31–17 win over the Chargers. Maybe it was because Taylor Swift was in attendance (Kelce has put up bigger numbers when the pop star is in the stadium), or maybe it was because it was National Tight Ends Day.
The NFL has officially dubbed the fourth Sunday in October “National Tight Ends Day” every year since 2019. It’s a movement that started with the 49ers but has come to be embraced by tight ends across the league.
