NEW ORLEANS (KCTV) - Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce added a Super Bowl record to his resume Sunday night.

Kelce, with his third reception of Super Bowl LIX against the Philadelphia Eagles, surpassed Hall-of-Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice for most receptions in Super Bowl history.

The 35-year-old tight end entered the night with 31 receptions, two shy of Rice’s record of 33. He failed to record a catch in the first half, the first postseason game ever for Kelce in which he failed to secure a pass in the game’s first 30 minutes.

Kansas City’s greatest pass-catcher in franchise history broke the record with a 9-yard reception in the fourth quarter. The catch came in the midst of a blowout Chiefs loss with Kansas City trailing 40-6 in the middle of the fourth quarter.
