Only Jerry Rice has more receiving yards and receiving touchdowns in the playoffs than Kelce, who has 165 catches, 1,910 yards and 19 touchdowns in the postseason. As opposed to Kittle, who has 33 catches, 459 yards and 2 touchdowns in the playoffs.0 Minutes AgoGrant Cohn has covered the San Francisco 49ers daily since 2011.
