The NFL on CBS took the analysis of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce to the next level on Sunday when discussing his performances in the wake of his relationship with pop icon Taylor Swift.
The network put up a statistic on the screen showing that Kelce has performed better with Swift in attendance, as he entered Sunday averaging 99.0 yards per game when Swift has been present, while averaging just 46.5 yards per game when she was not present.
Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons discussed the coverage on his podcast, and as usual, the Dallas star did not disappoint.
“Travis Kelce’s my boy,” Parsons said on The Edge with Micah Parsons. “Best tight end in the league for like the past three, four years, so it’s obviously not Taylor Swift. But I’m gonna tell y’all one thing. When there is a bad girl and she’s in attendance and she’s watching you, that gives you an extra boost of confidence.”

Sunday’s win over the Chargers was Kelce’s best performance to date in 2023.
Kelce caught 12 passes for 179 yards and a touchdown, his fourth receiving score of the season.
It sounds like it’s time for CBS to update Kelce’s receiving splits.
