The Kansas City Chiefs are just one victory away from making history. If they triumph over the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans this Sunday, they will become the first team in NFL history to secure three consecutive championships. Interestingly, this season, the Chiefs’ success has been attributed more to their outstanding defense rather than the usual high-powered offense led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce. This shift has occurred amid a noticeable decline in production from Kelce, leading many to speculate that this season may be the future Hall of Famer’s swan song before retirement, potentially after claiming his fourth Super Bowl ring.
Earlier in the season, there were theories suggesting that Kelce’s downturn could be linked to the glamorous lifestyle he shares with his girlfriend, global pop sensation Taylor Swift. However, during a media session leading up to the Super Bowl, an incident surfaced that could clear Swift of any blame regarding Kelce’s performance. “Jameis Winston just threw two red-frosted cookies to Travis Kelce, who did take a couple of bites,” reported The Athletic’s Nate Taylor.

In response to the reports, one Chiefs fan tweeted, “Uh, yeah if the Chiefs superstars could not eat things randomly thrown at them just a few days before the Super Bowl that would be great, thanks.” If Kelce has indeed been unconcerned about his diet all season, it might explain some of his less-than-stellar stats this year at the age of 35, which is quite advanced for a professional football player. It will be fascinating to observe Kelce’s conditioning during the Super Bowl.
