Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce etched their name into NFL record books during Sunday night’s divisional round game against the Bills. With a touchdown connection early in the third quarter, the Chiefs quarterback and tight end became the league’s career leader in playoff touchdowns (16) between a quarterback and receiver.

Facing first-and-goal from the 3-yard-line, Mahomes quickly got the ball out to his favorite target on a screen. Kelce made his way around the left side and battled his way across the end zone to put Kansas City up 20-17 with 11:48 in the third quarter. You can view the historic moment below.
