The Denver Broncos surprisingly won their NFL home game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. With three wins now, things still don’t look rosy for the Broncos, but you have to celebrate the celebrations as they come. Denver celebrated the victory and also gave the Chiefs a swipe.
Immediately after the end of the game, the stadium DJ decided to play “Shake It Off” by Taylor Swift. In addition to the fact that the title of the song is already a swipe at the defeated opponent, the artist could not have been chosen by chance.
After all, the singer has been dating Chiefs star Travis Kelce for quite some time. The pair’s romance has been one of the prevailing topics around the NFL in recent weeks. The fact that the pop icon of all people is now advising people to “shake off” bankruptcy is more than fitting.
Speaking of which: Taylor Swift could possibly have prevented the Chiefs’ defeat with a visit. In her absence, Kelce caught just six passes for 58 yards yesterday.
As the NFL statistics friends found out, without the girlfriend in the audience, the average is only 46.5 yards, while with Taylor Swift in the audience, Kelce catches 108 yards per game.
However, Kelce will have to get used to it, after all, Taylor Swift is resuming her world tour this week and will be very busy herself.
NFL: Flu-weakened Mahomes suffered a historic defeat
The Broncos’ victory had something historic about it. For the first time ever, Patrick Mahomes and his Chiefs lost against the Denver Broncos, who managed to win over KC for the first time after 16 defeats in a row. What’s more: It was Mahomes’ first ever away defeat in the AFC West.
A few hours before the game it was announced that Mahomes had been struggling with flu symptoms since Saturday and was only getting fit with infusions.
