In an exciting AFC Divisional Round matchup, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce broke a significant NFL record previously held by former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and tight end Rob Gronkowski.

Brady and Gronkowski had held the record for the most career playoff touchdowns by a QB/receiver duo with 15. Their impressive connection spanned over a decade, with 12 of those touchdowns coming during their time together with the Patriots from 2010 to 2018, and the remaining three achieved with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020 and 2021.

However, Mahomes and Kelce now claim the record. During the Chiefs' 27-20 victory over the Buffalo Bills, Mahomes found Kelce twice in the end zone for touchdowns. The first touchdown came on a 22-yard connection in the second quarter, followed by a 3-yard score in the third quarter. These two touchdowns propelled Mahomes and Kelce to a total of 16 playoff touchdowns, surpassing Brady and Gronkowski's previous record.

The Chiefs' win against the Bills not only secured their spot in the AFC Championship Game but also highlighted the remarkable chemistry shared by Mahomes and Kelce. The duo has consistently displayed their playmaking abilities throughout the playoffs, cementing their place in NFL history.

As for Brady, though his record has been broken, his legacy in the NFL remains intact with numerous other records and an impressive career that includes seven Super Bowl titles. While he may no longer hold this specific record, it is a testament to the impact he and Gronkowski made during their time together on the field.

The spotlight now shines on Mahomes and Kelce as they continue their quest for the Lombardi Trophy. With their remarkable performance against the Bills, they have not only etched their names into the record books but have demonstrated their ability to dominate on the playoff stage.

As the AFC Championship Game approaches, football fans eagerly await to see what Mahomes and Kelce will accomplish next. Will they add to their record-breaking tally or will Brady's presence be felt once again as he competes for another Super Bowl appearance with the Buccaneers? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – these talented duos have left an indelible mark on the history of the NFL playoffs.
