Chiefs Clinch No. 1 Seed As Travis Kelce Sets TE Record

Dec 28, 2020 8:51 AM

The Kansas City Chiefs edged the Atlanta Falcons 17-14 on Sunday to clinch the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs.

The 14-1 Chiefs, who have won 10 straight games, will receive the AFC's only first-round playoff bye and will play their divisional-round game at Arrowhead.

In the victory, Travis Kelce became the first tight end to have two 100-catch seasons. Kelce caught seven passes, giving him 105.

Kelce also set the single-season yardage record for a tight end. He had 98 yards, giving him 1,467. The San Francisco 49ers' George Kittle held the previous record with 1,377 yards, set in 2018.

"To get a week of preparation, a week of really locking in and getting the body right that late in the season is so key, and it's much needed if you want to make that playoff push,'' Kelce said. "That's what you work your tail off for all season. I'm just proud to be a part of this team and be able to do it again this year.''

Seahawks' Jamal Adams Sets DB Mark For Sacks

Dec 14, 2020 8:38 AM

Jamal Adams made NFL history on Sunday, setting the single-season record for sacks by a defensive back with 8.5 in the Seattle Seahawks' 40-3 win over the New York Jets.

Pete Carroll gave Adams the game ball after the victory.

Adams called the gesture "pretty cool" and a sign of how much the organization supports him.

"It's a pretty cool feeling when you put your mind to something, because I told myself and I told everybody last year when I did fail with 6.5 sacks and I got hurt, I told everybody that I was going to break the record," he said. "Some people thought I was crazy, some people believed in me. But the only thing that mattered is that I believed in myself. I knew that I was going to break the record."

Aaron Rodgers Fastest To 400 Career Touchdown Passes

Dec 7, 2020 8:52 AM

Aaron Rodgers made NFL history on Sunday, becoming the fastest ever to reach 400 career touchdown passes.

Rodgers reached the milestone in 193 regular season games. That's 12 fewer games than Drew Brees, who was previously the fastest to 400.

The Green Bay Packers quarterback, who turned 37 last week, began the day needing three touchdown passes to reach 400. With those three scores Sunday, he also reached 36 for the year, giving him his fifth season with at least 35 touchdowns -- the most such seasons in NFL history.

"Those are fun milestones for sure," Rodgers said. "I'm not sure how long I'll be able to hold on to the second one. There's some really good young quarterbacks I'm guessing are amassing some numbers in that vicinity. But it does speak to the consistency over a long period of time that I'm very proud of."
