Travis Kelce and Brock Bowers went up against each other for the first time, which was pretty fitting as they got to do it on National Tight End Day.
The Kansas City Chiefs remain unbeaten after their outing against the Las Vegas Raiders, having improved to 7-0 with a 27-20 win.
Kelce had his best performance of the season, making 10 receptions for 90 yards and a touchdown, while the rookie made five catches to the tune of 58 yards for his team.
The star TEs met up after the game and shared a heartwarming moment, with Kelce heard praising the 21-year-old.
“Happy as hell for you. Keep doing your thing. I’m gonna shoot my jersey to your locker,” he said before they posed for a photo together.

Bowers has been a standout since being drafted by the Raiders this year.
The younger tight end has registered 52 catches for 585 receiving yards and a touchdown for Vegas this season and is likely to see his snaps increase following the departure of Davante Adams.
Kelce, meanwhile, got off to a rough start but is coming into form.
