Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce combine for outstanding Chiefs franchise record

The Kansas City Chiefs put together a dominant performance against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night and seemed to be in rhythm on both sides of the ball when the Week 7 tilt concluded.

While their showing in divisional games has historically been stellar in the Patrick Mahomes era, the reigning MVP managed to make history in this game in one particular area when he threw a touchdown to Travis Kelce early in the matchup.

With Mahomes’ second-quarter touchdown connection with Kelce, the pair set the Chiefs’ franchise record for most scores between a quarterback-receiver duo. Kelce’s catch marked his 50th six-point reception with Mahomes under center, and the duo is just one score shy of tying New Orleans Saints legends Drew Brees and Jimmy Graham for fourth place on the NFL’s all-time leaderboard.

Be sure to keep your eye on Kansas City’s terrible twosome as the Chiefs move through their 2023 schedule to see if Mahomes and Kelce can once more combine to mark their place in the history books.
