Reception Streaks: TE Tony Gonzalez has caught a pass in 59 consecutive games, the second-longest string in Chiefs history. Gonzalez has at least one reception in 103 of his last 104 games. WR Eddie Kennison has caught a pass in 42 straight games.

Goin’ Gonzo: With TD catches of 21 and 14 yards, TE Tony Gonzalez registered his eighth career multi-TD game. He now has four TDs on the season and 51 in his NFL career. Gonzalez moved into third on the Chiefs career TD reception chart and is now fifth in NFL history among TEs in terms of TD receptions. Gonzalez registered his 500th career reception on a 15-yard catch in the third quarter. He became the fifth TE in NFL history to reach the 500-catch plateau. He is the second-fastest TE in NFL history to accomplish that feat, doing it 118 games. TE Kellen Winslow was the fastest to accomplish the feat, doing it in 101 contests. Gonzalez finished the game with 125 receiving yards, the fifth-highest single-game performance of his career. It was his second 100-yard game of the season and the 11th of his career. Those 11 career 100-yard outings are fifth in Chiefs history.
