Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid looked to his top receiver for inspiration for one of the team's red-zone trick plays—to provide both the scoring and the name.

Kelce's quick-flip pass from Patrick Mahomes resulted in a touchdown that put the Chiefs up 14-0 at the start of the second quarter against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.

The name of the play? "Catching Kelce," after the Bachelor-like dating show Kelce starred on in 2016.

Andy Reid really named this wild red zone play after Travis Kelce's dating show 😂 @tkelce @Chiefs (h/t @JOEL9ONE) https://t.co/KaYlaOdCx7

Kelce has reportedly ended his relationship with the woman he found love with on the show, but he's managed much better on the football field.
