To paraphrase the legendary Mark Twain, the reports of Travis Kelce’s career being over are greatly exaggerated.

Heading into the Chiefs’ 17-10 win over the Chargers on Sunday, NFL pundits and fans wondered about Kelce’s lack of production through the first three games. But on Sunday, Kelce looked like his dominant self, catching seven passes for 89 yards at SoFi Stadium.

It was a solid game for Kelce, who turns 35 on Saturday. Kelce’s girlfriend, superstar singer Taylor Swift, wasn’t at the game, but here are seven photos of him from before and during the game against the Chargers.

Here is Kelce arriving at the stadium ahead of the contest.

And here are photos of Kelce from the game, via Imagn, and one picture from X.
