“Call Me the Lucky Dog” — Travis Kelce’s Humble Words Spark Debate: Is He Underrated or Just Being Modest?.NO.1

Thirteen seasons into his NFL career, Travis Kelce is breaking records — and having fun!

“I’m just the old lucky dog still able to do this thing,” the Kansas City Chiefs star, 36, told Scott Van Pelt on SportsCenter following his team’s 28-7 Monday Night Football win against the Washington Commanders. “I’m putting on the pads like I’m 15 years old again, I’m loving every single bit of it.”

The Human Exclamation Point did just that in his best game of the season, snagging six receptions for 99 yards, including a 10-yard touchdown score in the third quarter that gave the Chiefs a commanding 21-7 lead. The catch was Kelce’s 100th career receiving touchdown and third score of the season.

The Chiefs veteran even referenced his fiancée Taylor Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia” dance and worked the song’s choreography into his end zone celebration.

“I like to fill people with happiness and excitement,” he later told Van Pelt. “And at the same time bring some swagger, bring some excitement, bring some fun to work.”

It was all fun in the Monday game for the Chiefs and Chiefs Kingdom, on a night in which Washington was without its starting quarterback Jayden Daniels and backup Marcus Mariota struggled, throwing two interceptions.

After the tight end’s franchise record-tying TD — matching running back Priest Holmes’ mark of 83 regular-season scores — Swift, 35, was seen celebrating in a suite alongside quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ wife Brittany Mahomes.

The WAGs watched as their significant others became the third quarterback-tight end duo in NFL history to record 75 touchdowns (including the playoffs), joining the elite company of Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski and Philip Rivers and Antonio Gates, according to ESPN.
