The Kansas City Chiefs have made an impressive comeback in the regular season after enduring a three-game losing streak. With Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce leading the charge, the team has strung together five consecutive victories. This dynamic duo is on the cusp of challenging a notable NFL record held by Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski. Just how close are they to this milestone?

Kelce and Mahomes have combined for 75 touchdowns with the Chiefs, whereas the record belongs to Brady and Gronkowski, who connected for 105 touchdowns during their time with the New England Patriots.
