Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are undoubtedly a dynamic duo on the field. Once again, they have showcased the enticing chemistry they hold on the gridiron, thanks to the exceptional milestone they reached recently post-season. This incredible moment occurred when Kelce and Mahomes connected to complete two touchdowns for the 16th time. Thus, surpassing Tom Brady and Gronkowski to reach this record, etching their names in history.

Previously, Rob Gronkowski ruled the NFL by upholding the record for the most touchdown passes by a TE and quarterback. But, today’s matchup against the Bills marked a game-changer for Mahomes and Kelce as they inscribed their name as the best QB-TE duo in NFL history, given the numbers.

Initially, the Brady-Gronk duo held this record with 15 touchdowns. However, today’s showdown against the Buffalo Bills allowed Mahomes and Kelce not only to tie the record with the legendary duo but also outdo them. Before today’s game, they had a record of 14 touchdown passes altogether. Today, they had impeccable two touchdowns altogether, which paved their name in the history book as 16 touchdowns together in postseason matches.

This milestone somehow contradicts Rob’s claims about them not being able to reach their milestone, as he said, “I think we will take them down; I think we’ll win. On up and Adams show.” The Brady-Gronkowski duo held the second post of most touchdowns together, followed by the Joe Montana-Jerry Rice duo to the second, respectively. However, this win was also marked another milestone in Mahomes’ career.
