Taylor Swift Credited for Historic Chiefs News
Following the Super Bowl LIX loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, the Kansas City Chiefs are preparing for the upcoming 2025 NFL season, hoping to make another run at a championship.
Travis Kelce pondered retirement for a few weeks following the loss, but ultimately decided to return to the Chiefs for his 13th season. This means his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, will likely be back at Arrowhead Stadium as well.

Throughout Wednesday, portions of the 2025 NFL schedule were gradually released, leading up to the full reveal at 8:00 p.m. ET.
But it appears the full Kansas City schedule was leaked ahead of the official release:
Week 1: at Chargers (Brazil)
Week 2: vs. Eagles (4:25)
Week 3: at Giants (SNF)
Week 4: vs. Ravens (4:25)
Week 5: at Jaguars (MNF)
Week 6: vs. Lions (SNF)
Week 7: vs. Raiders
Week 8: vs. Commanders (MNF)
Week 9: at Bills (4:25)
Week 10: BYE
Week 11: at Broncos
Week 12: vs. Colts
Week 13: at Cowboys (Thanksgiving Day)
Week 14: vs Texans (SNF)
Week 15: vs. Chargers (TBD)
Week 16: at Titans (TBD)
Week 17: vs. Broncos (Christmas Night)
Week 18: at Raiders (TBD)
According to NFL reporter Warren Sharp, the Chiefs are now "the first team in NFL history to receive 5 primetime games in the first 8 weeks of the season."
While the Chiefs have been one of the top dynasties over the past seven years, some NFL fans still gave credit to Swift for the historic 2025 schedule. They took to social media to leave their thoughts.
"Lots of early nights to bed for me! How pathetic is this really. You know it's to get Swift on TV. It's not about Patrick. It's about Taylor fn Swift. Garbage," one fan said.

"The Taylor Swift effect…" added another.
"Anything for more T Swift ratings. NFL will usher them along to the Super Bowl again as usual," wrote a third.
"Kelce contract is up after this season. Probably retirement so this is the NFLs last window to get those Swifties," commented a fourth.
"Swifty in full effect. Most unlikable franchise in sports #kcsucks," posted a fifth.
"as a personal representative of Senior Swifties, can confirm we are obsessed with Taylor Swift, too," added a sixth.

Despite fans crediting Swift, only two of the Chiefs' first five primetime games will be in Kansas City. In 2024, the Grammy-winning artist only attended games at Arrowhead, excluding the Super Bowl in New Orleans.

Action! Derrick Henry can parlay a 2,000-yard rushing season into a movie cameo with Adam Sandler
BALTIMORE (AP) — 'King Henry' finally has the attention of 'The Waterboy.' Baltimore Ravens star running back Derrick Henry has an offer from Adam Sandler, his favorite actor, to be cast in a movie if the five-time Pro Bowl selection rushes for 2,000 yards this season. The offer grew out of Henry's appearance on radio personality Dan Patrick's show this week to discuss his $30 million, two-year contract extension. Patrick told Henry he would get him in a Sandler movie if he made NFL history with a second 2,000-yard season. Two days later, Sandler made the offer himself in a video shown to Henry on the practice field. 'That's my dawg,' a wide-smiling Henry said while watching the video. Sandler, star of 'Happy Gilmore' and the remake of 'The Longest Yard' along with 'The Waterboy,' said he was in a hotel room while filming his greeting for Henry. At one point, Sandler turned the camera to show his bulldog. 'Two thousand yards-plus this year not only gets you in a movie, but we'll have a nice dinner together and talk about Dan Patrick's facial hair and how hard it is for him to grow it,' Sandler joked in a video posted Friday. 'I love ya and keep it up.' Sandler came up during Patrick's interview with Henry because Patrick was hearing a hoodie for the soon-to-be-released 'Happy Gilmore 2.' Sandler had given Patrick the hoodie. 'Can you do me a favor?' Henry asked Patrick. 'If you ever see him again, tell him I'm a really big fan and would really love to meet him one day.' Patrick left Sandler a voice message — and Sandler responded. 'Dan you're a real one!' Henry later wrote on social media. Henry rushed for 2,027 yards with Tennessee in 2020, when he was an All-Pro and the AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year in the fifth of his eight seasons with the Titans. Henry nearly did it again as a 30-year-old in a resurgence with the Ravens last season, when he ran for 1,921 yards. Saquon Barkley of the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles led the NFL with 2,005 yards. ___ AP NFL:
