The back-to-back Super Bowl champions take on their rivals at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. ET.
They are looking to make it a three-peat, the first time that has happened in league history.
Head coach Andy Reid made a big call on the duo to help them through the game.
The duo made the team leaders in the playoffs.
The veteran coach hopes that his experience in winning the post-season will help his team advance to the first division round.
They will next face either the Buffalo Bills or Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship game.
Kelce and Mahomes have won three Super Bowls each in their time with the Chiefs.
Kelce, 35, became a team leader during the 15-2 regular season.
It came after a bad year statistically for the tight end, after a terrible start.
Meanwhile, Mahomes is the leader of the offense on the field.
The 29-year-old midfielder knows what it takes to get over the line in one-off games.
Reid also named four more leaders for the Chiefs in the playoffs.
Defensive tackle Chris Jones is one of them.
He is fit and ready to face Texas after an injury scare.
