Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had a rather sassy two-word response to a reporter’s bizarre question about Taylor Swift and the NFL referees at Super Bowl Media Day in New Orleans.

The Chiefs cemented themselves as a dynasty when they beat the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 58 last season, but they’d have a strong case as the best dynasty of them all with a win over the Eagles.
