Ed Kelce has a message for Travis Kelce’s critics.
Kelce, 74, took to social media to praise his youngest son’s play this season.
“If anyone questions how well Travis is playing; through week 10 he leads all tight ends in total yardage,” Kelce wrote on Instagram.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end was the NFL league leader among tight ends in total yards through Week 10, but dropped to second after Week 12. Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride leads all tight ends in both receptions (80) and yards (797).
Kelce is second in the NFL among tight ends with 674 yards, with Indianapolis Colts rookie Tyler Warren right behind him with 662 yards. The 36-year-old has resurged for the Chiefs this season, as he has 54 catches and four touchdowns in addition to his 674 yards.
The 10-time Pro Bowler already has more touchdowns than he did last season, and despite his diminished athleticism, he’s been a reliable target for Patrick Mahomes.

The four-time All-Pro quickly put to rest any retirement rumors last season when he announced his return shortly after the team’s crushing Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Last week, Kelce said he would tell the Chiefs his intentions to play in 2026 before NFL free agency begins in March 2026 to give the team plenty of time to plan their offseason.
Kelce had four catches for 43 yards in the Chiefs’ 23-20 win over the Colts on Sunday. The Chiefs improved to 6-5 with the win, but remain out of the playoffs.
