His explosive 48-yard reception on Kansas City’s opening snap helped set the tone, while his late touchdown sealed a 24-10 victory. The result moved the Chiefs to 3-0 and added another memorable chapter to Kelce’s remarkable 2026 comeback story. Travis Kelce gave NFL fans another reason to believe he still has plenty left in the tank. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end made only two catches against the Miami Dolphins, but both came at crucial moments.
Kelce finished with just two receptions for 59 yards, but the numbers do not tell the whole story. With Mahomes healthy and Kelce making timely plays, Kansas City has opened the season 3-0.
“He’s found the fountain of youth, he’s back in his prime,” a fan said about Kelce. “Imagine what he’d be like if he’d married Taylor Swift years ago,” a third fan joked. “They’ve figured out how to get the best out of him, he looks incredible,” said a fourth fan.
His first catch changed the early rhythm of the game, and fans quickly flooded social media with reactions to the veteran’s performance. “YES TK! LET’S GOOO!! That was awesome! Awesome job! GO TK!” was all another fan could say. For a team looking to return to the NFL’s biggest stage, that early momentum could prove important as the season develops.
