LAS VEGAS, NEVADA: Taylor Swift's rumored beau and Kansas City Chiefs' tight end Travis Kelce has become the talk of the town among Swifties and football enthusiasts alike after he got into a tussle during Sunday evening's game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
The incident occurred in the third quarter when Raiders cornerback Amik Robertson seemingly put excessive pressure on Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice after a play on Sunday, November 26.

Kelce, known for his exceptional skills on the field, rushed to his teammate's defense, engaging in a physical confrontation with Robertson and another Raiders player.
Despite being confronted by multiple opponents, Kelce stood his ground, needing to be restrained by fellow Chiefs players while expressing his stance to the game officials.
Despite the dramatic moment, Kelce showcased his prowess on the field, making six receptions for 91 yards against the Raiders. Notably, he became the fastest tight end ever to reach 11,000 yards, solidifying his impact in the league.
In addition to Kelce's standout performance, Chiefs coach Andy Reid achieved a milestone with his 125th career win as the team's coach, surpassing Hank Stram for the team record. Reid, already holding this distinction with the Philadelphia Eagles, is the first NFL coach to achieve this feat with two different teams.
Kansas City overcame an initial 14-0 deficit against Las Vegas, tying the game by halftime and securing a 31-17 victory.
Patrick Mahomes played a pivotal role, passing for 298 yards and two touchdowns, while Isiah Pacheco rushed for two touchdowns, and Rashee Rice caught eight passes for 107 yards and a TD.
