The Kansas City Chiefs had been on a major roll, winning six games in a row following their season-opening loss to the Detroit Lions. They figured to keep it going against the last-placed Denver Broncos, a team that had lost 16 straight matches to Kansas City. NFL fans had a lot of interest in the game involving the defending Super Bowl champions and stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.

Following the Chiefs' embarrassing display, however, many couldn't help but point out how poorly Kelce and the Chiefs performed without Taylor Swift. As everyone knows, Swift has been attending some Kansas City games since it has been revealed she's dating Kelce. And one thing that has stood out in her appearances is how Kelce plays better and how the team wins their games.

Naturally with the Chiefs losing in the absence of Swift, fans were quick to connect the dots.

The expected victory did not happen, as the inspired Broncos picked up a 24-9 victory over Kansas City. Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson, who has been largely criticized since leaving the Seattle Seahawks and moving onto Denver, threw three touchdown passes. He also did not throw an interception. Wilson was joined by running back Javonte Williams, who carried the ball 27 times for 85 yards.

The Broncos defense tormented the Chiefs with two interceptions and three fumble recoveries. Safety Justin Simmons led the way with two tackles, one interception, one fumble recovery and one pass defended.

Patrick Mahomes completed 24 of 38 passes for 241 yards with two interceptions, and he did not throw an interception. Travis Kelce finished as the Chiefs leading receiver in the game, but he was limited to 6 receptions for 58 yards.

Perhaps Kelce would have had a more productive day if the pop superstar had been in a luxury suite rooting him on.
