A record-breaking day for Chiefs’ Kelce

Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce broke George Kittle’s NFL single- season record for most receiving yards by a tight end during Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Kelce finished the game with seven receptions for 98 yards, giving him 1,416 yards for the season. Kittle, the San Francisco 49ers standout, set the record two years ago with 1,377.

One player impressed with Kelce’s season accomplishments is Kittle.

“Raising the bar all year!!! Congrats @tkelce,” Kittle said on Twitter.

Kelce now has 105 receptions this season and is the first tight end in NFL history with two 100-catch seasons.

The eighth-year player made a club-record 103 catches two years ago and 97 last season.

Kelce added his 11th touchdown catch of the season in the second quarter and the 48th TD grab of his career. REPORTS: RAVENS FINED OVER COVID OUTBREAK >> T he Ba ltimore R avens have been hit w ith a $250,000 fine related to a major COVID-19 outbreak that led to 23 players being sidelined, according to published reports.

During the outbreak, the Ravens had players test positive daily for 10 straight days, including reigning MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Baltimore, which currently has no players on the reserve/COVID-19 list, reportedly had four unique strains of the virus found in its facility.

GORE IN EXCLUSIVE COMPANY >> New York Jets running back Frank Gore became the third player in NFL history to rush for 16,000 yards.
