Travis Kelce is set to miss the Kansas City Chiefs’ next game and enjoy some downtime with Taylor Swift before his latest Super Bowl charge, according to reports. The Chiefs have just entered a much-needed mini-bye week after a hectic Christmas schedule which saw them play three games in the space of 10 days. The last of those outings – a 29-10 Christmas Day victory over the Steelers in Pittsburgh – saw them clinch the AFC’s top playoff seed, meaning they will receive a first-round bye and enjoy home advantage throughout the postseason.
And with nothing left to play for in the regular season, Kelce appears likely to be rested for next weekend’s clash with the Denver Broncos and head off for a romantic getaway with Swift in New York City instead. Chiefs insider Pete Sweeney hinted as much while on the New Day with SSJ podcast Friday, where he revealed that head coach Andy Reid is expected to leave out the majority of his key starters for that game.
‘Andy I believe got done with the [Steelers] game and gave the guys some time to go do what they want to do. A tight end might be going to New York with his girlfriend, a quarterback might be hanging out with his kids. Who knows what everybody else is doing,’ said Sweeney, who has spent over a decade covering the team. ‘But I think it’s a nice reset for these guys. All these guys will practice next week, but I have a zero percent feel that any starter of any significance will play in this game.’
