5 tight ends with 4+ touchdowns in an NFL game ft. Travis Kelce
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce made NFL history during their dramatic 30-29 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football in Week 5. Kelce had four touchdowns and became just the fifth tight end in NFL history to achieve the feat.
Patrick Mahomes has seen Kelce as his safety blanket for some time now, so Kelce being amongst the names on this list isn't much of a surprise, but it's still quite a feat. Here are the 5 NFL tight ends with 4+ touchdowns in a single game.
#5 - Taysom Hill
While he may not be a traditional tight end, Taysom Hill is one of a select few who've had four touchdowns in a single game. Like Kelce, he also completed the feat during Week 5 of the 2022 season in the New Orleans Saints' win over the Seattle Seahawks.
Hill is a quarterback, running back, and tight end all-in-one, and this was evidenced by his three rushing touchdowns and one passing touchdown in this matchup. The utility man rushed for 112 yards on just nine carries, as well as tossing a 22-yard touchdown pass to Adam Trautman.
#4 - Mike Ditka
The oldest entry on this list, Pro Football Hall of Fame tight end Mike Ditka caught four touchdown passes during the Chicago Bears' 52-14 blowout win over the Los Angeles Rams back in 1963.
Ditka completed the feat as he caught nine passes for 110 yards and four scores. The Bears legend went on to win a Super Bowl as both a player and coach in the Windy City, and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1988.
