Despite missing out on another championship ring, Travis Kelce added another accolade to his resume Sunday when he surpassed Jerry Rice for most career Super Bowl receptions in the Kansas City Chiefs’ 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Kelce, 35, logged four receptions for 39 yards to give him 35 total catches through five Super Bowl appearances, passing the Hall of Famer Rice’s mark of 33 receptions in four Super Bowls. The Super Bowl record comes one year after Kelce surpassed Rice’s career postseason receptions record. Kelce failed to tally a catch in the first half of Sunday’s lopsided game as the Chiefs quickly fell behind by three-plus scores. But the legendary tight end salvaged his stat line in the second half and broke Rice’s record after hauling in two late third-quarter catches and a nine-yard reception at the 7:54 mark of the fourth quarter.
