The Buffalo Bills’ clash against the Kansas City Chiefs has the feel of a playoff game entering Week 11. On Sunday, November 17, Bills quarterback Josh Allen will seek to lead Buffalo to its sixth consecutive victory. Patrick Mahomes and his Chiefs teammates are 9-0 and hope to keep it that way.
Although Taylor Swift Eras concert tour begins on Saturday, November 16 at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, and she will be off for four days after that, she will not be attending the game. While analyzing the AFC matchup, a personal friend of the Kelce family, sports pundit Adam Lefkoe, said on “Up & Adams” that the pop star was “shocked” by the strong environment at Highmark Stadium during last season’s playoff game.
“I have heard from people very close [to the Kelces] that it was not a great experience in Buffalo,” Lefkoe told podcast host Kay Adams. “For all parties involved. And I’m talking about the most famous of all the parties.”
“I think that it kind of shocked the Kelce family and everyone related to the Kelce family the reception they got. I think they were kind of going in just thinking this is going to be an amazing game with good energy. And they got there and they experienced Bills Mafia in full form and its complete ruthlessness and I think they left and said ‘I don’t know if I want to experience that again.’”
Travis was honest about the Bills Mafia going too far. “I don’t hate you guys like you hate us, it’s all love, baby. “There was a lot of hate pulling up to that stadium, man. Understandable it’s a football game, the Bills, coming into their house, they want to make it rowdy. Did it get a little disrespectful? One thousand percent. Did it get a little extra? One thousand percent.”
The 35-year-old tight end declined to get specific about the nasty comments. “Some things were said about the families. Some pretty inappropriate things were said about Pat Mahomes, it was pretty whack. I get it, coming into a hostile environment. I respect it, but I just wanted to make sure [they] knew it wasn’t mutual.”
Mahomes is no stranger to Highmark Stadium or the dominant presence known as Bills Mafia. “They don’t like me a lot, and they don’t like the Chiefs a lot,” Mahomes stated on Tuesday’s 96.5 The Fan show. “I’m sure it’ll be pretty hostile out there.” Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, the three-time Super Bowl MVP described Allen as “a really good dude.”
“I believe that’s why his crew works so hard for him. But, obviously, we’re both rivals, so there’s not much conversation during the season since we’re both aiming for the ultimate prize, the Super Bowl. However, there is a great deal of mutual respect.
Allen is on the same page. “I got so much respect for both those guys [Kelce and Mahomes], but especially Pat, the way he handles himself off the field and we all know what type of player he is on the field. He’s one of the great ones,” the Bills star told reporters.
