Despite playing without their No. 1 wide receiver and top running back, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Co. still found a way to get the win.
Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce recorded a season-high nine receptions for 70 yards. Wide receiver Juju Smith-Schuster, who tallied just two catches in 4 games, led the offense with seven receptions for 130 yards in Week 5.
Running back Kareem Hunt leveled the Saints defense with 27 carries for 102 yards and a touchdown while rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy scored rushing touchdown. Cheering on the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium on Oct. 7, Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift. After the game, Swift met up with Chariah Gordon, wide receiver Mecole Hardman’s fiancée.
Gordon asked the pop star, “How do you feel after this win,” and Swift tried to deflect. However, after Gordon said she’s feeling good heading into the bye week undefeated, Swift couldn’t help but chime in.
“Perfect is the word,” Swift said, and both women started laughing after the “Blank Space” singer realized they were filming the video in front a photo of herself.
