Fresh off a thrilling Monday Night Football victory over the New Orleans Saints, the Kansas City Chiefs’ players are looking forward to some well-deserved downtime, thanks to the decision of their head coach, Andy Reid, to let them unwind after a flawless start to the season.
Star quarterback Patrick Mahomes was open about his plans during the bye week, expressing his excitement about spending quality time with his family. “I’ll be spending most of my time running around with the kids,” Mahomes said with a smile, acknowledging that his week off won’t involve much relaxation. It seems that Andy Reid is allowing his players to recharge in their own ways as they gear up for the rest of the season.
However, tight end Travis Kelce was more private about his bye week activities. During an episode of his New Heights podcast with his brother, former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, Travis confirmed that he has plans but chose not to disclose any details. When Jason asked if he was going to share his plans with anyone, Travis simply replied, “No, but if any of it comes out, I’m sure we’ll be talking about it on the show.”
Fans have been abuzz with rumors about Kelce’s relationship with music sensation Taylor Swift, who was reportedly seen with him on a plane heading to the East Coast earlier this week. Swift had missed Kelce’s previous two road games but made a comeback to Arrowhead Stadium to support him during the Chiefs’ latest victory. As Swift gets ready to kick off her Eras Tour in Miami later this month, speculation continues to swirl about how the pair will spend their time together.
While Kelce remains tight-lipped about his personal life, Mahomes has been more visible, making an appearance at a Kansas City Royals playoff game earlier this week. As the Chiefs enjoy their time off, they will be back in action in Week 7, hitting the road to face the San Francisco 49ers. The team is surely taking advantage of this opportunity to recharge and come back even stronger for the rest of the season.
