Travis Kelce received an outpouring of congratulatory messages, including one from iconic actor Henry Winkler. The special shoutout comes after the veteran tight end recently made history during the Kansas City Chiefs’ game against the Washington Commanders. On Monday night, Kelce scored a touchdown pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes, marking the 83rd touchdown of his regular-season career. The milestone tied him to former Chiefs running back Priest Holmes for the most touchdowns in franchise history. In addition to Kelce’s record-breaking achievement, the team also cruised to a commanding 28-7 win against the Commanders. With this, the Happy Days star took to X to express his Chiefs pride as he celebrated both the team’s triumph and the NFL star’s historic milestone. “@tkelce CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!” he captioned his post. On the other hand, fans were delighted to see the crossover between a TV legend and the three-time Super Bowl champion. “Two of my fav people,” one wrote. “Love that @hwinkler4real is a Chiefs fan,” another added. One fan seemed totally hyped about Winkler’s shoutout to Kelce, noting, “This is EXTREMELY important to my culture Omg.” “99 yards + 1 congratulatory post from beloved actor Henry Winkler = Keep it 100 on the land, the sea, the sky,” a commenter echoed. One even poked fun and encouraged the tight end to invite him to his upcoming wedding with Taylor Swift. “Invite him to the wedding idc,” a fan playfully commented. Besides fans, the actor’s shoutout was also reposted by New Heights, the podcast of the Kelce brothers. On the other hand, this is not the first time that the ‘70s star celebrated the Chiefs’ win. Earlier this year, Winkler also showed his support during the AFC Championship and retweeted a post from the Chiefs with a caption, “The Day IS YOURS Men.” The Barry star stayed fully locked in at the game and shared another congratulatory post for the team. “@Chiefs AND HERE WE GOOOOOOO ! Well done team!!!” Besides being a fan of Kelce, he is also an admirer of Mahomes. In 2022, he watched the game live at the Arrowhead Stadium and was thrilled to meet the quarterback in person, noting that he had just met one of his heroes.
