The game between the Chiefs and the Saints was a battle. Both teams were fiery in their pursuit of a victory. In the 4th quarter, the tight end Travis Kelce passed the ball to the Xavier Worthy, ignoring Patrick Mahomes. The rookie scored a touchdown. And they got what they wanted. A win! The Chiefdom is pumped.
With such a dominating performance, everyone was just mesmerized. Kelce’s ex-girlfriend, Kayla Nicole, praised the coach Andy Reid on X and wrote, “Andy Reid is a menace with the playbook. My gaaaawwdd.” On the sidelines, the coach was moving hot.

On 3rd and 22 in the first half, Mahomes passed the ball to the TE, who lateraled it to Samaje Perine. Reid wasn’t much in awe. It’s business as usual for him and the tight end. While talking about the lateral, he said that Travis Kelce does it every day in practice. And we expected an outstanding performance today. Guess the reason, Taylor Swift!
She was back in attendance today at the Arrowhead Stadium. It was a relief for the fans and Travis Kelce. This season, he hasn’t been able to contribute to the team as much as he would have liked. But a 26-13 win ensured they were on a roll.
The game was full of turns and twists. However, consecutive Super Bowl winners are focused on winning.

Can Travis Kelce & Co. break this historical record?
What’s your perspective on:
Did Andy Reid just redefine play-calling genius with Kelce's unexpected QB move?
Have an interesting take?
After 5 weeks, only two teams are undefeated. Chiefs and Vikings! It’s different from last year for the Vikings who lost the first 3 games in 2023. The Chiefs, though, have a similar trajectory as they lost the first game but won the next 6 games in a row.
This year, they are eyeing a historical feat. A 3-peat! No team has ever won 3 consecutive Super Bowls. And only one team has won it undefeated. 1972 Miami Dolphins! More than 50 years ago! Last 2 years, the Chiefs tasted a defeat in the first 5 weeks. This year too, things haven’t been easy, but despite the setbacks, they have emerged victorious.

Travis Kelce is not performing the way the team wants him to. Rashee Rice, Marquise Brown, and Isiah Pacheco are injured. They are on IR. Even then, the team is cruising like a boss. The question is, can they repeat the 1972 Phins feat? It would be a bigger achievement if they go all the way.
Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid have often said that they want their TE Travis Kelce and other WRs and RBs (who are injured) to be battle-ready for the playoffs. So far, they haven’t flinched. Stay tuned! We’ll keep bringing more stories.
