Getty The Patriots beat the Chiefs twice in 2018.
Shortly after Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw a terrific 48-yard touchdown pass to Mecole Hardman to put his side up against the New England Patriots, tight end Travis Kelce scored his first career rushing touchdown on a lovely four-yard sprint into the endzone.
The Ohio native, normally known for his sensational catches shocked both fans and critics alike after powering his way forward to put the Chiefs up 17-7 at Gillette Stadium. This marks Kelce’s fifth touchdown of the season and the 37th in his nearly seven years in Kansas City.
Poised to be one of the biggest games of Week 14, the last time the Patriots and Chiefs played against each other was January’s AFC Championship game at Arrowhead Stadium, with Bill Belichick’s men defeating Andy Reid’s side 37-31 to punch their ticket to the Super Bowl.
Twitter Reacts to Kelce’s Incredible Milestone
The internet, in true fashion, went wild for Kelce’s run. Over on Twitter, there was nothing but compliments directed toward the 30-year-old receiver moonlighting as a running back.

Travis Kelce running in TDs now. What can’t he do!? #KCvsNE
Don’t be surprised at Travis Kelce playing QB for the @Chiefs . He was a HS QB and ran the Wildcat for @GoBearcatsFB in college. The more you can do..
Travis Kelce paying tribute to the 2009 Bearcats by scoring on a rushing TD out of the Wildcat. You love to see it.
Direct snap to Travis Kelce with a fake to Tyreek Hill as the RB. Love it. Andy’s been saving that one for this game.
The Chiefs lead the Patriots 20-7 at halftime, putting the hosts in jeopardy of snapping their 21-game home win streak. The last time the Patriots lost in Foxboro was on October 1, 2017 against the Carolina Panthers.
