For the 11th time during the 2024 NFL season, the Kansas City Chiefs found themselves in yet another tightly contested matchup. And for the 11th time, they emerged victorious in a one-possession game.
The Chiefs secured a 27-19 win over the Houston Texans at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday, extending their record to an NFL-best 14-1.
Despite the victory, it wasn’t smooth sailing for Kansas City. Star tight end Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce played a quieter role than usual, as quarterback Patrick Mahomes spread the ball around to multiple targets.
Fans and Taylor Swift ‘Disappointed’ as Kelce Falls Short of Passing Tony Gonzalez
Travis Kelce, often hailed as one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history, stands shoulder to shoulder with legends like Tony Gonzalez, who spent the majority of his Hall of Fame career with the Kansas City Chiefs.
On Saturday, Kelce had an opportunity to surpass Gonzalez for the most touchdown receptions in franchise history. However, the milestone — which requires just one more TD catch — will have to wait.
The Houston Texans held the 35-year-old in check, limiting him to only five receptions for 30 yards, postponing his historic achievement for at least another week.
What hurts even more is that Kelce missed the chance to break the record with Taylor Swift watching from the stands — likely for the last time in the regular season. While the Chiefs secured another victory with the pop superstar in attendance, Swift and her fans were undoubtedly hoping to witness history.
Many of her devoted followers took to social media to express their disappointment, reflecting a shared sentiment that the moment would have been the perfect blend of football greatness and celebrity magic.
