Arriving Los Angeles for the Chiefs’ game against the LA Chargers, tight end Travis Kelce was not pictured with the rest of his teammates as they descended their airplane. They may be reigning Super Bowl champions. They may be chasing an unprecedented three-peat. But despite that, the Kansas City Chiefs have to take t one step at a time and need Travis Kelce to start showing up.
Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback, looked sharp in his suit. Following victories over the Bengals and Ravens, and Falcons, Kelce and the Chiefs aim to get to 4-0. Although it hasn’t been a vintage start for the future Hall of Famer despite his team’s success, the tight end has had girlfriend Taylor Swift cheer him on at both of his games thus far.
Kelce has only made four catches for 39 yards in two games this year, a sharp down from his career average of 70.6 yards per game. In his one previous game at Atlanta, in 2016, Kelce crushed the Falcons for 140 receiving yards; he will be looking to duplicate that performance on Sunday.
It seems Taylor Swift will not be attending this Chiefs game again due to the unavailability of a VIP box for her and her friends. Similar to last week’s victory over the Falcons, this Sunday’s game against the LA Chargers will not be played at Arrowhead Stadium, as the world-famous singer-songwriter chose not to travel there. Gigi Hadid and a night out in New York City are cited as the more than suitable explanation.
After dating tight end Kelce last season, Swift established herself as a fixture at Chiefs games. Ever since, their relationship has been in the news nearly every week. She went to 13 of his games, including Super Bowl LVIII, and he visited several of her shows on her Eras Tour, even taking part once.
On Sunday, Chiefs coach Andy Reid is expected to make a daring lineup change to provide Mahomes with extra cover on his blindside. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that second-year offensive lineman Wanya Morris will start the game at left tackle instead of Kingsley Suamataia, a second-round rookie who will sit on the sidelines.
After being selected with the 63rd pick overall out of BYU, Suamataia showed enough during training camp to be given the starting job in Week 1. Reid is obviously trying to get Mahomes more comfortable because he has thrown three interceptions and taken four sacks in the first two games.
