Travis Kelce paid homage to Tony Gonzalez on Wednesday after breaking the Chiefs' touchdown record - as he mimicked the franchise legend's iconic touchdown celebration. Kelce's fourth quarter touchdown grab was the 77th of his career in the regular season - surpassing Gonzalez's 76 with Kansas City.

And the new record holder honored Gonzalez after the 12-yard-catch by 'dunking' the ball through the uprights after, as Hall of Famer so often used to do. Gonzalez congratulated Kelce afterwards on X and was clearly thrilled to see his celebration re-created.

HOLIDAY TOUCHDOWN FOR TRAVIS‼️ pic.twitter.com/sqgtsd0r1K. Kelce was flagged for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty following his celebration during the Chiefs' 29-10 win. Tight end Jimmy Graham was previously fined $30,000 for a pair of goal-post dunk celebrations in 2014, so Kelce is likely correct to expect a fine of his own as well.
