The Seattle Seahawks didn’t just beat the Kansas City Chiefs on the field - they took a swipe at Travis Kelce’s wife, Taylor Swift, after the blowout.
Following Seattle’s 20-3 win over the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Seahawks hopped on social media with a post aimed right at Swift’s world of friendship bracelets and song titles. The image showed friendship bracelets that spelled out “Seahawks Win,” and the caption was just two words: “End Game.”
That wasn’t a random choice. Swift’s fans are known for trading friendship bracelets like the ones in the post, and “End Game” is also a track from her 2017 Reputation album.
Swift did not appear to be at Lumen Field for the game. That fits the pattern, since she usually shows up for Chiefs home games at Arrowhead Stadium more than road trips.
Kansas City probably could have used the extra boost. The Chiefs are undefeated this year when Swift is in attendance, but they had little going on offensively against Seattle and barely moved the ball.
Patrick Mahomes was under pressure all afternoon without his starting tackles and finished with 165 passing yards along with a costly interception. Travis Kelce was one of the few bright spots, catching four passes for 44 yards and moving into the top five all-time in receptions. Noah Gray also finished with 44 yards on three catches, matching Kelce for the team lead.
Former Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III was held to 36 yards on 14 carries.
The loss dropped Kansas City to 5-1, and the Chiefs now turn to a Week 8 matchup with the Denver Broncos. They beat Denver in Week 1 at Arrowhead, though the Broncos have responded since then and enter the game at 5-2.

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 🡒]
