Travis Kelce nears all-time tight end receiving record against Denver Broncos

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce enters the Week 1 'Monday Night Football' game against the Denver Broncos needing 45 receiving yards to move into second place on the NFL all-time leaderboard for the position. A performance of that length would allow Kelce to surpass the 13,046 career receiving yards currently held by Jason Witten. Only Tony Gonzalez remains ahead of both players on the historical list with 15,127 yards. The game marks the return of Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who missed the latter portion of the 2025 season due to a knee injury. Kelce is expected to be a primary target for Mahomes as the Chiefs begin their campaign. The outcome will track Kelce's progress toward closing the gap on the league's all-time record set by Gonzalez.
