The Kansas City Chiefs rely on starting offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor to keep pressure off star quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Taylor was listed on the Chiefs’ injury report this week ahead of Kansas City’s divisional-round playoff matchup against the Houston Texans on Saturday, January 18.
Many people noted a possible factor for the Chiefs’ unbeaten record when Martin works: KC’s incredible success. Martin became a referee in 2018, the same year that Mahomes became the Chiefs starting quarterback and began the NFL’s current dynasty.
Given his ability to log a full practice session Tuesday, Taylor seems like a very good bet to be able to suit up in Saturday's AFC divisional-round battle versus Houston.
Taylor Swift supported Travis Kelce during the Kansas City Chiefs playoff game against the Houston Texans on Saturday, Jan. 18. The singer hadn't attended an NFL game since December 2024.
Kelce hinted earlier this week that Swift would be in attendance as the Chiefs kicked off their Super Bowl run
The pop star, 35, supported the tight end, also 35, at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, during the divisional playoff game on Saturday, January 18, wearing a chic black minidress with a pearl Chanel belt and a matching checked jacket. She completed her look with a coordinating Chanel handbag and her signature red lip.
Since beginning her relationship with Kelce in 2023, Swift has been a frequent visitor at Chiefs games, including the 2024 Super Bowl, which saw Kansas City take home the championship. Just before Christmas, she was spotted at Arrowhead Stadium in a chic, furry red coat.
Football players are intentional with the accessories they wear on the field, whether for climate, superstition or routine.
NFL fans were furious about two calls that went against Houston on Saturday during the Texans’ 23-14 loss to the Chiefs in an AFC Divisional playoff game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. Houston defensive end Will Anderson Jr. was called for roughing the passer in the first quarter for this hit on quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Defensively, Houston listed linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair as "Questionable" for Saturday with a knee injury. Al-Shaair, who racked up 70 tackles in 11 games this season, didn't play against the Chiefs back in Week 16 due to a league suspension. 2. Houston has thrived off takeaways all season long.
Pop superstar Taylor Swift spent some of the game sitting in a suite alongside Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark, who is likewise a big Chiefs fan.
