The Chiefs took the lead early in the fourth quarter on Kelce’s second touchdown of the game, a 32-yard catch and run from Mahomes. The Chargers responded with a drive that ended with a 6-yard touchdown pass from Justin Herbert to Joshua Palmer with 1:46 left. The Chiefs then went 75-yards in 1:15 to finish with that third TD to Kelce.

Travis Kelce finished with 115 yards receiving on 6 catches with the three scores. It was Kelce’s 34th game with at least 100 yards receiving, which is a new NFL record.
