Looking at Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce's game-by-game numbers in 2023 would seem to tell a conventional story of in-season improvement. The future Hall of Famer—injured at the start of the year—has progressed from a measly 47.5 receiving yards per game in September to 107.5 per game in October.
However, a key variable has entered play over that timeframe: musician Taylor Swift. Swift, with whom Kelce has been reportedly spending time, has attended four of Kansas City's games this year.
On Wednesday's edition of New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, Eagles center Jason—citing a graphic CBS displayed during the Chiefs' 31-17 win over the Chargers Sunday—pointed out the pronounced gulf between Travis's numbers with and without Swift in attendance.
