The Kansas City Chiefs' season is winding down as they take on the Las Vegas Raiders, but one thing is for sure: tight end Travis Kelce isn't going quietly into that good night.

Many think this could be the last game the future Hall of Famer plays in his career, and if it is, it will be an odd feeling watching the Chiefs without No. 87 running around.

And during the third quarter of the game against Las Vegas, Travis made some history.

He became the fastest tight end in history to reach 13,000 receiving yards (192 games), and he managed to have more than 75+ receptions in 10 straight seasons, tying for the longest streak in NFL history with Tim Brown of the Raiders, per the NFL's X account.

Will Kelce retire?

Truthfully, we have no idea.

But given that Travis was thinking about it last season, along with his age, and where the Chiefs franchise is roster-wise, if there ever was "the" time for No. 87 to walk away from the game, it is now.

With over 800 receiving yards and five touchdowns prior to Week 18, Kelce has been productive in Year 13, but there is a feeling that the petrol tank is beginning to run out.

He has nothing left to prove; he's done everything in the game, and no one would bat an eyelid if he rode off into the sunset with Taylor Swift.

But will he?

We won't have to wait too long to find out.
