Ranking the top 10 QB-TE combinations in NFL history
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (BVM) – The Kansas City Chiefs duo of quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce further cemented their status as the best pass-catching combination in the league as the two recorded 12 receptions for 179 yards and a touchdown against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.
That touchdown was significant as it marked the 50th scoring reception between the two, making them just one of four quarterback-tight end combinations to record 50 or more TDs together.
That TD marked the 50th TD connection between QB Patrick Mahomes and TE Travis Kelce, the most by any QB-pass catcher in franchise history and the 4th most by a QB-TE in NFL history. They need 1 more TD to tie Drew Brees and Jimmy Graham (51) for 4th.
