The Kansas City Chiefs are on a roll, but they know the NFL is a fickle beast. Injuries can derail even the best-laid plans. So, they’re not taking any chances. The Chiefs are always looking to improve, and with the trade deadline looming on November 5th, they’re already making moves to strengthen their stacked roster. While their offense, led by Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, is already firing on all cylinders, they’re not afraid to add more firepower. However, they recently made some required changes to bolster their defense.

On the 28th of October, they traded in Josh Uche from the New England Patriots in return for a 6th-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. The linebacker wasn’t having a great time with the Pats, limited to playing part-time. In 2024, he only had 2 sacks in 7 games. What’s more surprising was the player they pushed out to make space for the incoming linebacker.

They traded Travis Kelce’s aide, Jody Fortson, to the Injured Reserve (IR) list. During the week 8 game against the Raiders, Andy Reid announced that the TE injured his right knee. However, the coach had initially said that they would further evaluate their player. But the decision to move him to IR puts him out of action until week 12. That is a big blow.

Travis Kelce has been holding them together with Patrick Mahomes at the center. It’s not an easy task that you go 8 weeks undefeated. 7-0! In the first few games, the veteran TE was completely out of touch; he couldn’t gain yards. But he has been slowly finding form. He had 10 receptions in 90 yards and scored his first touchdown in week 8. This has sent waves of happiness in the Chiefdom.

There’s a very strange theory going on as to why the tight end scored his first touchdown in week 8.

Taylor Swift’s magic works on Travis Kelce

The power couple has been busy with their careers. While Kelce has been grinding on the football field, his pop star girlfriend is wrapping up the final stretch of her Eras Tour. On October 26th, just one day before the Chiefs’ Week 8 game against the Raiders, she performed in New Orleans and made a hand gesture mimicking a touchdown. One fan predicted that a TD was coming for Kelce—and it did.

Kelce snagged a 5-yard touchdown during the Chiefs’ 27-20 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. This was a milestone moment, marking his 75th career touchdown. With this score, Kelce became just the fifth tight end in NFL history to surpass 75 receiving touchdowns from the same position. And all of this happened on National Tight Ends Day, October 27th.

Fans couldn’t help but credit Swift, saying Kelce had made her “wish” come true. Some Swifties even joked about “Tayvoodoo,” suggesting her presence brings him good luck. There might be something to it—Kelce’s been in top form since their vacation during the bye week, showing that a little time off (and love) never hurts.

With him, the Chiefs are having a great time, and the locker room is set for a 3-peat. The trio of Reid, Mahomes, and Kelce are making all the necessary changes for a victorious season. The Chiefs seem all set to lift the Trophy again!
