Looks like the Kansas City Chiefs are riding high after their international triumph over the Miami Dolphins, snagging a well-deserved breather with a bye in week 10. While most players keep their R&R plans hush-hush, Travis Kelce seems to be taking a page out of Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras World Tour’ playbook with a quick jaunt to Argentina. Word on the street is, Kelce might just catch Tay-Tay’s opening concert on Nov. 9 at the Estadio River Plate.

Seems like Kelce might be following the lead of legends like Tom Brady and the rising star of the NY Jets, Zach Wilson, who’ve both embraced similar travel vibes during their bye weeks. Will Kelce’s South American jaunt turn into a moment of misery?

The NFL travel curse: From Brady to Wilson, Kelce’s next move under scrutiny

Last year, Tom Brady popped up at Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s wedding just before a big game. A whole two days before the Tampa Bay Buccaneers faced off against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Tampa Bay took the L, and suddenly, Brady was under the media microscope, catching flak for his travel plans.

Fast forward to this season, Zach Wilson, fresh off six weeks of constant scrutiny after Aaron Rodgers’ season-ending injury, chose to escape the noise during the bye week.
