Travis Kelce and the Chiefs were able to hold off the Dolphins (thanks to a couple of bad mistakes late by Tua Tagovailoa) in Germany on Sunday and improved to 7-2 on the season with a 21-14 victory.
Kansas City was able to get the win despite a dreadful performance by Kelce, who had just three catches for 14 yards and no touchdowns. By now, it has been well documented that he hasn’t put up big numbers in games that Taylor Swift hasn’t attended. That trend continued in Week 9, as the pop star was unable to make it to the game.
Look at these numbers:
