During the first quarter of Monday night's game against the Kansas City Chiefs , the Washington Commanders ' veteran became only the sixth tight end in NFL history with at least 800 career receptions. Ertz has joined pretty elite company that includes Hall of Famers Tony Gonzalez, Antonio Gates , Shannon Sharpe, former Cowboys legend Jason Witten (who is eligible for induction into the Hall of Fame for the first time this year) and current Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce .
