Travis Kelce needs 35 receiving yards Sunday against the Seahawks to break Tony Gonzalez's career receiving yards record for tight ends, including playoffs.

Gonzalez holds the mark with 15,413 total yards, built from 15,127 in the regular season and 286 in the playoffs. Kelce has compiled 15,379 yards to date, with 13,301 coming in the regular season and 2,078 in postseason action.

The Chiefs tight end also approaches a milestone in career receptions. His 1,100 regular-season catches rank seventh in NFL history. Three catches Sunday would push him past Marvin Harrison (1,102) for fifth place, following Cris Carter in sixth at 1,101.

The all-time receptions leaders are Jerry Rice (1,549), Larry Fitzgerald (1,432), Gonzalez (1,325) and Jason Witten (1,228).
