Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes says he knew he had to get ball to Travis Kelce with Taylor Swift watching
The pressure was on for the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
The team had to make sure they weren’t going to underestimate the Chicago Bears and put up a win with one of the most famous musical artists on the planet watching from high above Arrowhead Stadium. Taylor Swift was on hand as rumors of a budding relationship with Travis Kelce hit a fever pitch.
Kelce led the team in receiving and scored a touchdown in the third quarter. Patrick Mahomes said he felt a little more pressure to get Kelce the ball for a touchdown with Swift in attendance.
“I heard she was in the house,” he told FOX’s Erin Andrews after the game. “I felt a little bit of pressure. So, I knew I had to get it to Trav. And of course, it was on a route that Travis – he does his own thing and just makes up a route and I throw it to him.
