Taylor Swift didn’t make the trip to Lumen Field on Sunday night, but her name still ended up in the middle of the Seahawks’ celebration.
Seattle didn’t just beat Kansas City - it flattened the Chiefs 20-3 and handed them their first loss of the season on Sunday night. And after the final whistle, the Seahawks kept the trolling going by taking a not-so-subtle shot at Travis Kelce’s wife.
The team posted a friendship bracelet that read “Seahawks Win” along with a caption tied to one of Swift’s songs. The message attached to the photos was, “End Game.” That’s the title of a track from Swift’s 2017 album, “Reputation.”
The reference lands because of the old bracelet story between Kelce and Swift. Before the two were married, Kelce tried to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his number on it, and it didn’t exactly go smoothly at the time. Three years later, they’re married.
On the field, Kelce had a quiet night by his standards, but he still reached a major milestone. He finished with 4 receptions for 44 yards in the Chiefs’ Week 7 loss, and in the process passed Tony Gonzalez for the most combined regular-season and playoff receiving yards by a tight end in NFL history.
Seattle’s jab came after a game in which Kansas City could only manage three points all night long. For the Seahawks, the win was one thing. The postgame message made sure the night kept echoing well after the scoreboard went final.

Kenneth Walkers Homecoming Exposed A Chiefs Problem Fans Didnt Expect
Sunday night in Seattle brought a rude reminder of how quickly an offense can get squeezed when the ground game never gets going. The Seahawks beat the Chiefs 20-3 to hand Kansas City its first loss of the season, and Kenneth Walkers return to face his former team never found much traction as the Chiefs kept leaning into a game plan that never opened up.
The bigger concern for Kansas City was the overall shape of the offense. Patrick Mahomes was bottled up for much of the night, and the Chiefs spent long stretches chasing a rhythm they could not quite find against a Seattle defense that controlled the line of scrimmage and turned the game into a slog.

Andy Reid Just Made Harrison Butker A Real Chiefs Concern
The Chiefs 20-3 loss to the Seahawks was rough enough on its own, but Harrison Butkers night added another layer of concern for a team that expects its kicking game to be a strength. The veteran was only 1 of 3 on field-goal tries, and the misses loomed large in a game where Kansas City never found enough offense to keep pace on Sunday night.
Andy Reid did not dance around it afterward, making clear Butkers issues have become something the Chiefs need to address. One of the misses came on a 45-yard attempt in the fourth quarter, the kind of kick that could have changed the tone of the finish and kept Kansas City within striking distance, but instead the struggles left the Chiefs with another problem to sort through.

Travis Kelce Gave Chiefs Fans One Reason To Smile After That Loss
The loss to Seattle didnt leave Kansas City with much to celebrate, but Travis Kelce still gave Chiefs fans a reminder of how much history he has piled up in red and gold. In Week 7, the veteran tight end added another milestone to a resume that already looked untouchable, moving into a new place on one of the NFLs most exclusive career lists.
Kelces latest climb came in the middle of a frustrating afternoon for the Chiefs, but it underscored just how sustained his production has been across his career. Even with the team taking a hit in the standings, he kept adding to a legacy that has long since moved beyond weekly stats and into the record book. [Read more 🡒]
