It's truly been the Year of Kelce, hasn't it?
This impressive catch score capped off a career-high 143 yards in the first half against the Chargers, a game the Chiefs would ultimately win 31-17.
Kelce has quickly become one of the faces of American sports, thanks to his hit podcast, public appearances, and blossoming relationship, to say nothing of his Hall of Fame play.
Through nine weeks, Kelce has 57 catches for 597 yards and 4 TDs. He missed Week 1 with an injury and has fought off other ailments, but he remains Patrick Mahomes' most dependable and trusted pass-catcher.
That Kelce was able to hold onto this football while being swarmed by defenders says enough about the play, but that he did it in a critical moment helped by his teammates elevates it to another level.
