Kelce passes Gronk for 2nd in playoff receiving TDs in Super Bowl LVII

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce passed Rob Gronkowski to move into second all time in postseason receiving touchdowns with a first-quarter score in Sunday's 38-35 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.

Kelce's 18-yard touchdown Sunday was the 16th of his postseason career. He now only trails Pro Football Hall of Famer Jerry Rice on the all-time list. Rice caught 22 touchdowns over his decorated career.

The Chiefs tight end beat Eagles defensive back Marcus Epps on a route up the sideline before Patrick Mahomes floated the touchdown pass into Kelce's arms. The touchdown was Kansas City's first score of Super Bowl LVII and answered the Eagles' opening-drive touchdown.

Kelce ended Super Bowl LVII as Kansas City's leading receiver with 81 yards on six receptions.

The 33-year-old's Super Bowl performance capped off an impressive playoff run. Kelce put up 257 receiving yards and four touchdowns during over three playoff games this season.
