Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce may have won over Taylor Swift’s heart with his charming personality and looks, but teammate Patrick Mahomes believes he deserves some credit for helping the power couple come together.
Patrick Mahomes’ Chiefs received plenty more media coverage and attention than usual in 2023, and not just because they won another Super Bowl. It was largely thanks to Kelce’s relationship with the Grammy Award-winning singer that went public last fall.
Swift attended the majority of Chiefs games in 2023, including their entire postseason run that ended with a victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 58.
During his appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show”, Patrick Mahomes made an interesting confession for Kelce: The two-time league MVP claims that he was the one who got the ball rolling on the Kelce-Swift thing:
“I like to take some of the credit. I was the one who invited Travis to his first Taylor concert…He was sitting in my suite, so I feel like I was the matchmaker. I had some input in there… ‘Just go for it. Just go for it.’ And you know Travis man, he does it…I’m glad it’s all worked out for the best.”
They haven’t been together for a full year yet, but there’s already speculation that Kelce will soon propose to Swift. Multiple reports have suggested otherwise, but only Kelce and Swift know deep down if that’s on the table right now.
Mahomes didn’t put together his best statistical season in 2023 (4,183 passing yards, 27 touchdowns and a career-high 14 interceptions), but he saved his best for when it mattered most as usual.
In four playoff games, Mahomes completed 69.8 percent of pass attempts for 1,051 yards, six touchdowns and one interception as KC completed the first Super Bowl repeat since the 2004 New England Patriots.
Patrick Mahomes & Chiefs Begin Title Defense vs. Ravens
The Chiefs will be challenged early in their Super Bowl title defense, with reigning MVP Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens coming to town in the NFL Kickoff Game on Sept. 5.
Though Mahomes is 4-1 against Jackson’s Ravens (including the 17-10 AFC Championship Game win in January), four of those contests have been decided by a single score. We shouldn’t expect anything different when the league’s two most recent MVP winners square off in the opening game of 2024.
Kevin Byard Reveals His Conversations With Caleb Williams
Safety Kevin Byard has explained how he encouraged the rookie quarterback following his poor spell.
“I said something to him at the end of practice: Keep going, we’re gonna keep making you better,” Byard said, per NBC Sports Chicago. “Not necessarily saying that he had a terrible day, but like days like this are gonna make you better. So that’s our job, and like I said, obviously, just the first three days of practice, he’s done a lot of positive things. He’s made some really great throws. Just coming in with that swag as a rookie quarterback, he doesn’t seem flustered by anything, so that’s exciting to see.”
Byard added that Williams and the offense had beaten the defense earlier in the week and he wants his QB to remain consistent no matter who wins in practice.
“Sometimes it’s going to be back and forth, and that’s how the season is going to be, week to week,” he remarked. “Every week is not going to be great. Some weeks, we’re going to have to do a two-minute drill; he’s going to have to go win us a game. Some weeks, we’re going to blow people out. Sometimes it’s not going to be like that.
“So I would just kind of tell him, like, hey, days like this, just keep fighting, keep going, watch the film, get better. And that’s for everyone on the team. Everything is not going to be peaches and cream. You know what I’m saying? But like I like his confidence and he kind of just looked me straight in the eye and said ‘of course I will,’ and that was good to see.”
Caleb Williams would do well not to get his head down. He’s clearly one of the most talented quarterbacks to come out of college in recent years and will get better.
He just has to keep working.
