Travis tied with former Chiefs running back Priest Holmes for the most touchdowns in the franchise’s history. In the episode, Jason revealed that Travis was “second in receiving yards this season,” while the other players who previously reached that milestone “are 23, 24, 25, and 22 years old.” “You’re over a decade older than every other person on this list,” Jason told Travis. But despite making that achievement at 36, Travis noted that he currently felt “younger than ever too, man.” Travis Kelce reacts to Happy Days actor Henry Winkler’s post on his achievement Fans shared their congratulations to Travis on the major career milestone on social media, including Happy Days actor Henry Winkler, who took to X (formerly known as Twitter) and wrote “CONGRATULATIONS!” Jason reacted to the sweet mention and added that “it wasn’t just the Fonz” who also congratulated him. “We had a bunch of your teammates weighing in,” Jason continued. “Rashee Rice said, you know, ‘I’ve seen a lot of spark out of Trav. It’s never really gone. He’s a very patient player.'” In response, Travis attributed his success on the field and breaking the major career record to his team and said “The energy in the building feels a lot more electric.” It feels like we’re moving at a pace that we weren’t moving at last year,” he continued. “And yeah, it’s honestly because we’re scoring touchdowns. I think when everybody’s getting a piece of the pie like this, I mean, ‘Mhmm.’” Travis Kelce’s subtle nod to Taylor Swift after career achievement Travis’ fiancée and singer Taylor Swift was at attendance to support him at the historic game on Oct. 27.

Fans were quick to catch the subtle nod to the 35-year-old Grammy winner, with one fan writing on X “Travis Kelce did the fate of Ophelia dance for his [touchdown celebration] last night.
