Chiefs' Travis Kelce has been taking his play to a new level with Taylor Swift in the house.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — This season of the Kansas City Chiefs might someday be remembered for two distinct eras: pre-Taylor and post-Taylor.

Travis Kelce's season certainly will be.

Whether coincidence or fate or a function of true love, the Chiefs tight end has been on a tear since his overtures toward pop superstar Taylor Swift resulted in a newfound relationship. Kelce was out with a hyperextended knee in Week 1, when the Chiefs lost to the Lions, and had four catches for 26 yards in his return against the Jaguars. But in the six games since Swift first watched Kelce play, he's caught 48 passes for 499 yards and four touchdowns.

That includes a 12-catch performance for 179 yards and a score in a 31-17 win over the Chargers on Sunday, when Swift was back in an Arrowhead Stadium suite and chest-bumping Brittany Mahomes, wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

In the four games Swift has attended, Kelce has averaged 108 yards receiving. He averaged 46.5 in the two games she did not.

That led Chiefs coach Andy Reid to say: “Taylor can stay around as long as she want.”

He wasn't joking, either. She might be Kelce's good-luck charm.

Or maybe he's just defying logic by getting better with age.

Even though he turned 34 earlier this month, the same age as retired tight end Rob Gronkowski, Kelce continues to make plays that leave everyone wondering just how he did that. Take his game against the Chargers, a division rival that has seen him plenty of times yet was powerless to prevent him from finding open nooks and crannies in their defense.

In one case, Kelce found a yawning chasm and ran 54 yards before he was finally brought down by the Chargers.

“The younger Trav would have scored on that one,” Mahomes said with a smile, “I'll say that.”

He might not have been that open, though. Mahomes said the biggest difference in the 34-year-old Kelce from the one who broke into the league a decade ago is his ability to diagnose what the defense is doing, then quickly find a way to counteract it.

“He's played every single team and every single coverage,” Mahomes said, “and knows every way to make them pay.”

That much is true regardless of whether Swift is in the house.

WHAT’S WORKING:

The Chiefs sacked Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert five times on Sunday, and each came from a different player — and none from Chris Jones, whose streak of eight straight regular-season games with a sack came to an end. That production from across the board is a good sign for the Chiefs' pass rush, which has been relying heavily on their All-Pro defensive tackle for years.

“All of us are versatile, we’re all playing inside or out. Getting us all on the field is huge — every single one of us can rush,” said Mike Danna, who had one of the sacks Sunday. "Keep on stacking the reps and getting better with the guys.”

WHAT NEEDS HELP:

The Chiefs were penalized six times for 43 yards, but a few of them were particularly painful. One was a questionable block in the back on left guard Joe Thuney well downfield that took away Jerick McKinnon's 48-yard touchdown reception; the Chiefs wound up getting a field goal on the drive instead.

STOCK UP:

Second-round draft pick Rashee Rice is quickly developing into an impact wide receiver. He had five catches for 60 yards and a score against Los Angeles, and he's had at least four catches in each of his last three games.

“He’s doing a really good job of just doing what he’s supposed to do and making the plays that he’s supposed to make, not trying to be anything that he’s not,” wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling said. “You see a lot of rookies come in and try to do too much and can’t figure out the right thing to do and the wrong thing to do. He’s just been doing his job and it’s been paying off for him. He’s a quiet kid who listens to what he’s told to do. He always wants to learn. He’s always taking notes, and it shows.”

STOCK DOWN:

Former first-round pick Clyde Edwards-Helaire's time in Kansas City is coming to a lackluster end. He had just two carries for five yards against the Chargers and has 32 for 105 yards through seven games in the final season of his rookie contract.

INJURIES:

Playmaking linebacker Nick Bolton fractured his wrist while tackling the Chargers' Keenan Allen. Bolton was only in his second game back after missing the previous three with an ankle injury.

KEY NUMBER:

29 and 3 — Mahomes has 29 wins and three losses in his career against the AFC West. And with the victory over the Chargers, the Chiefs have a three-game lead in the division just seven weeks into the season.

NEXT STEPS:

The Chiefs can do more damage in the AFC West race when they visit the Broncos on Sunday. The two will be playing for the second time in three weeks after Kansas City scraped its way to a 19-8 win on Oct. 12 at Arrowhead Stadium.

The 5 Matchups That Will Define Super Bowl 58

As hard as it is to believe, the NFL’s 104th season is edging toward its conclusion with Super Bowl 58 this afternoon. It seems like just yesterday that 32 teams (well realistically like 24-25) had hopes of chasing Super Bowl Glory. Fast forward to February and 30 teams are now pounding their heads against the wall trying to figure out how the fuck they get to this game.

But we’re not here to talk about the 30 teams left wondering “what if”. We’re here to talk about the last two standing. The ones who can practically taste that Lombardi……well assuming they had licked the trophy at some point, which hey, who the hell knows what goes on behind closed doors! The first Super Bowl in Las Vegas features San Francisco vs Kansas City II, with the contractual details of the trilogy conclusion being ironed out as we speak. While the team colors are familiar, both teams have undergone makeovers on par with Spearmint Rhino’s top stripper entering her 40’s. You've no doubt been inundated with Super Bowl analysis for the past two weeks so we’ll cut to the chase and focus on the five matchups that will determine who wins the fucking Super Bowl!

The Trenches

Yes yes yes, it’s a tale as old as time, but it still rings true to this day. The battle is won in the trenches and the line of scrimmage may be the single biggest factor in determining who hits the Craps Tables and who will simply be leaving Las Vegas.

The Chiefs’ D-Line (most notably Chris Jones) will have its opportunity to feast against anyone not named Trent Williams, who is basically the scariest fucking bouncer in history. On the edges, San Francisco will deploy the reunited Ohio State duo of Nick Bosa and Chase Young against the oft-penalized Donovan Smith and Jawaan Taylor. The interior will feature starters Arik Armstead and Javon Hargrave going toe to toe with Creed Humphrey and Nick Allegreti, the latter of which is filling in for the injured All Pro Left Guard Joe Thuney.

Advantage: San Francisco

SF WRs vs KC DBs

Let’s be honest, Kansas City’s lack of talent at Wide Receiver is probably what makes this a fair fight. The fact that the gauntlet of AFC opponents allowed them to make the Super Bowl THIS YEAR is frankly embarrassing, but we won’t belabor that point. The other side of this matchup presents the far more interesting battles.

Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and oft unsung hero Jauan Jennings will face off against All-Pro Cornerbacks Trent McDuffie and hilariously underrated running mate L’Jarius Sneed, who did not yield a single touchdown in coverage in 2023. San Francisco’s receiving corps against Kansas City’s secondary may very well be the most enticing matchup of Super Bowl 58 and frankly, feels like a bit of a wash. But with San Francisco’s issues on the right side of their O-Line (23rd in pass block efficiency per PFF) combined with a Quarterback playing in his first Super Bowl, it’s hard not to lean towards the secondary here.

Advantage: Kansas City

Fred Warner vs Travis Kelce

The intermediate game offers an equally tantalizing matchup as the best Linebacker in the league will be tasked with holding Kansas City’s most prolific receiver, and one of the greatest Tight Ends of all time in Travis Kelce, in check. Few teams would even dare trust a linebacker mono y mono with the likes of Kelce. But Fred Warner is the best coverage linebacker in the league and is essentially a cheat code on Defense.

We may have said this a time or two already (you try doing this after four stiff margaritas), but this matchup could truly define Super Bowl 58, as inability to connect with 87 could frustrate Mahomes and kill drives, while getting Kelce going early could simultaneously drop the 49ers and Taylor Swift’s panties.

Advantage: The Guy with the rings and the most powerful Pop Star on the planet in his corner

CMC vs the World

Christian McCaffrey in all honesty, was the MVP this year. But because it HAS to be a Quarterback award, that title went to a regular season hero in Lamar Jackson. According to the overwhelming majority of NFL analysts, CMC is the reason Brock Purdy even has a job. And with that comes lofty expectations from both the fans and the opposing defense.

Luckily for San Francisco, that opposing Defense is Kansas City’s 31st ranked Outside Zone Defense. While they will undoubtedly be expecting a hefty dose of McCaffrey, history suggests they won’t have many answers in terms of defending it. If only the actual winner of the MVP award had challenged them on the ground more!

Advantage: San Francisco

Purdy vs Mahomes

The most highlighted matchup of Super Bowl 58 may also be its most lopsided as the last pick in the draft squares off against arguably the best Quarterback the league has ever seen. This is the ultimate David vs Goliath story. Except it’s David w/ Cerebral Palsy vs Goliath on a cocktail of angel dust, steroids, and beaver tranquilizer.

Unlike the media writ large, we really don’t think Purdy is a ‘Game Manager’ or a ‘System Quarterback’ or whatever disparaging slur they’ve attributed to him as of late. But as fun as his underdog story is, the simple fact of the matter is Mahomes has racked up a star-studded body count this year that includes his perennial rival Josh Allen, a Miami offense led by his former super weapon Tyreek Hill, & the now two-time MVP Lamar Jackson.

We’re not saying Purdy has no chance of beating him, but Mahomes does tend to just win games he really shouldn’t when you look at the conventional matchups. And if he can do that against some of the best super weapons the league has ever seen, what chance does Mr. Irrelevant actually have?

Advantage: Kansas City

Bonus: Taylor Swift vs Donald Trump

Let us preface this by saying, we have no reason to believe Donald Trump roots for or against either of these teams. We know he loves the Patriots as they were one of the few teams that actually visited him in the White House (minus a key figure or two) and spent the entire Tom Brady era torturing the team he tried and failed to buy a decade ago. So why is the not even slightly controversial former President being brought up in this ridiculous sports article?

Because he’s running again and the presence of one particular Super Star has led to one of the funniest sports conspiracies we’ve ever heard. Bay Area fans turn back now, this section certainly does not favor you. The obviously credible theory perpetuates that Goodell and Co. have scripted another Kansas City victory to ensure Travis Kelce proposes to the the most powerful woman on the planet right before she endorses Joe Biden for the 2024 presidency. There are some variations of this theory that suggest Kelce will celebrate the victory by impregnating Swift on the field for the whole world to see (that’d certainly one-up the Janet Jackson thing).

Obviously, an influx of new voters in the form of the Swifties riding a sleepy Joe endorsement would prove problematic for Trump, which leads to our final point. Taylor Swift net worth: $1.1 Billion. Donald Trump net worth: $2.6 Billion with several axes to grind. Scripts be damned, at the end of the day money talks!

Advantage: San Francisco

Injury Report vor dem Super Bowl: Armstead und Kittle an Bord!

In der Nacht zu Montag deutscher Zeit (Kickoff 0:30 Uhr deutsches Zeit) steigt im Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas der Super Bowl LVIII. Die San Francisco 49ers treffen auf den amtierenden Titelträger Kansas City Chiefs. Für die 49ers gibt es im Vorfeld gute Nachrichten aus dem Lazarett. Kein Spieler geht mit einer Injury Designation in das Endspiel. Auch Defensive Tackle Arik Armstead und Tight End George Kittle konnten zum Ende der Trainingswoche wieder voll belastet werden. Einzig Kalia Davis ist nach den Folgen einer Knöchelverletzung als „fraglich“ eingestuft, aber er verbleibt für den Rest der Saison auf der Injured Reserve List. Bei den Chiefs fehlt mit Guard Joe Thuney ein wichtiger Baustein der Offensive Line.
