It was a rough night for Kansas City Chiefs fans as they wrapped up a busy NFL Sunday by watching their team get stimied by the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. The Chiefs offense was unable to get anything going and had its worst offensive performance under Patrick Mahomes since 2021.
Luckily for Taylor Swift, she didn't have to sit and watch the destruction at Lumen Field.
Throughout the night, Swifties and NFL fans were waiting to see when Swift would pop up on their screens, but like a touchdown from the Chiefs offense, that never came.
Now, some fans were wondering why she didn't pop up during the Sunday Night Football broadcast, but there is a really easy explanation.

This past weekend marked our first UK basketball/football doubleheader, and now we're preparing for another with two games in Lexington this coming weekend for the Kentucky Wildcats.
On Friday, Mark Pope's Wildcats will face a stiff pre-season test, as the Texas Tech Red Raiders come to town. The Red Raiders are projected to be a top-25 team to start the season, but they currently face eligibility questions regarding some key players, including returners Darrion Williams and Donovan Atwell, as well as UCF transfer JaMichael Stillwell.
Star forward JT Toppin is also out this week as he continues to recover from a torn ACL that will likely keep him out until sometime in conference play.
Regardless, Texas Tech under Grant McCasland has been solid and should be a good measuring stick to see where this Kentucky team stands heading into the season.
Meanwhile, Kentucky Football returns home for an SEC matchup against Vanderbilt in front of what was recently announced as a sold-out crowd at Kroger Field.

When Kawhi Leonard became a Toronto Raptor for the first time in the summer of 2018, he looked shellshocked. "There's just more questions you have to ask me in order for me to tell you about myself," he said, introducing himself to an organization and city he reportedly had no interest in joining.
Leonard had fallen out with his former team, the San Antonio Spurs – one of the most respected franchises in professional sports – due to differences in opinion about an injury that had limited him to just nine games in the 2017-18 season. The Los Angeles native had hoped to end up in southern California, but instead the Raptors risked it all by swapping franchise cornerstone DeMar DeRozan for one year of an injured, malcontent Leonard. It worked: Leonard led the Raptors to their maiden championship on the back of a historic playoff run, averaging 30.5 points, 9.1 rebounds, 3.9 **** ists and 1.7 steals en route. Leonard won his second finals MVP to go alongside the one he had claimed with the Spurs when he helped them to the **** le in 2014.

"The narrative of not wanting to come to this city is gone," the team's president, Masai Ujiri, said at that 2018 press conference, speaking to insecure Raptors fans who had watched American players like Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, and Chris Bosh leave Toronto since the franchise opened its doors in 1995. "We should move past that. Believe in this city. Believe in yourselves … We are proud of who we are."
But even a historic season wasn't enough to convince Leonard to stay north of the border. After a long and contentious free-agency period managed by his uncle, Dennis Robertson, Leonard spurned the reigning champions in favor of his hometown Los Angeles Clippers. "There wasn't as much anger in 2019 as there was with Vince Carter or some of the other guys who left," says Bruce Arthur, who has covered Leonard since 2018 for the Toronto Star. "I think he was given a little bit of special dispensation because he was going home, because he had delivered a **** le, and because I never felt like there was ever a connection outside of Kawhi the basketball player, with Toronto."

Gary Neville is hugely impressed with what he's seen of Carlos Baleba over the last week.
The midfielder has now overseen his first three appearances for Manchester United since making a £70 million move from Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer.
(Photo by Michael Steele/Getty Images)
Baleba endured a delayed start to the campaign due to an ankle ligament injury that he sustained in pre-season with the Seagulls, meaning his debut only came on October 10 during the draw with Tottenham Hotspur.
His first start then came three days later against Atletico Madrid, which also marked his maiden appearance in the Champions League, and he was also deployed from the off at Elland Road yesterday.

Nate Tice & Hayden Winks dive into their instant takeaways from Week 6 of NFL action. The show kicks off with reactions from the Green Bay Packers getting a win against a Dallas Cowboys offense that could not get rolling on Sunday Night.
This week's Pick 6 begins with a Philadelphia Eagles team that seems to be in deep trouble, losing their fourth straight, this time against a surging Carolina Panthers offense. The guys jump to the preseason Super Bowl favorite Los Angeles Rams losing another division game to the Arizona Cardinals. Is it time to panic in Los Angeles? Next, Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers pull off a comeback victory against undrafted rookie QB Jalon Daniels and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Nate & Hayden then discuss their reactions to the Houston Texans beating the Jacksonville Jaguars across the pond in London. Then, they take a look at the New Orleans Saints scoring 34 unanswered points against the New York Giants. Is there a QB competition brewing between Jameis Winston and J.J. McCarthy, who saw his first action in a Giants uniform on Sunday? To close out Pick 6, the guys break down Caleb Williams' return for the Chicago Bears in their triumph over the Atlanta Falcons.
Lastly, Nate & Hayden hit on some Extra Credit, including reactions to the Tennessee ******* ans getting their first win of the season against the struggling Indianapolis Colts, an exciting shootout between the Buffalo Bills and Las Vegas Raiders, and the Cleveland Browns climbing the mountain to lead the AFC North with their win against the Baltimore Ravens.

Philadelphia Eagles WR Dontayvion Wicks caught two of four targets for 24 yards in a Week 6 loss to the Carolina Panthers.
SOURCE: USA TODAY
Why It Matters: Wicks had his fewest targets since the opener against Washington. Since posting 147 yards and a touchdown in the first two games, Wicks has been limited to 12 catches and 137 yards in the last four games. His cause is certainly not being aided by all of the injuries in Philadelphia, and it seems unlikely to get any better soon with Jalen Hurts set to miss at least three more games. Wicks is a WR5/Flex option in most leagues.

Buffalo Bills safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson faced backlash from the NFL world after getting ejected from the Week 6 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. He appeared to spit on Raiders tight end Brock Bowers, right after the Bills received a defensive holding penalty in the second quarter.
But Gardner-Johnson came to his senses pretty quickly. Talking to the media inside the locker room, he acknowledged that what he did was wrong. He let his emotions take control in the heat of the moment. That's certainly something that no veteran should do. Hence, he took to his Instagram Story and shared an apology.
"I want to take a moment to address my actions and sincerely apologize to my opponent, my teammates, my organization, and everyone who supports me," Gardner-Johnson wrote. "My passion and competitive nature have always been a huge part of who I am, but I also understand that there is a line that should never be crossed. The gesture I made toward my opponent was inappropriate, unnecessary, and not a reflection of the respect I have for him or this game."
Gardner-Johnson further noted that there's "no excuse" for spitting on his opponent, regardless of the intensity of the competition. He is playing his eighth season this year, making him a responsible figure in the Bills locker room.

NFL fans are in a tizzy trying to figure out if CBS reporter Tracy Wolfson smacked Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen on the ******* after their on the field interview after the Bills win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6.
We can't see exactly where her tap landed because the camera shows us only the front of both of them. It is also worth noting that she is considerably shorter than he is so the slap may not have been intended for the ******* but landed there.
Regardless, it is an odd look on the same week that Charissa Thompson was kissed by Broncos Coach Sean Payton in a pregame exchange likely not intended for the camera and millions of eyes to see.

Buffalo Bills safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson was ejected from the Bills' Week 6 win over the Las Vegas Raiders for spitting on Raiders tight end Brock Bowers.
San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk chimed in and said this isn't new for the 28-year-old and accused Gardner-Johnson of spitting on him during the 49ers' win over the Chicago Bears last season.
"This is the least surprising thing ever," Juszczyk posted on Twitter above a clip of the ejection. "(Gardner-Johnson) spit on me last year when we beat Chicago."
Gardner-Johnson pleaded his case to officials that he wasn't spitting on Bowers, but it was clear he did something in the direct vicinity of the TE that caused an official to immediately throw a flag and eject the eight-year veteran.
It's also not a surprise Juszczyk and Gardner-Johnson had a dustup last year. Gardner-Johnson and the 49ers have a bit of history starting in 2019 when Gardner-Johnson was a rookie in New Orleans for an epic 48-46 win for San Francisco. In that game Gardner-Johnson was hit with a 15-yard penalty for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Juszczyk.

One Josh Allen masterclass moment has captured the attention of NFL fans after the Buffalo Bills' big win and most are simply awestruck by his genius.
In what proved to be a tight contest against the Las Vegas Raiders, the Buffalo Bills claimed their fifth win of the season. The difference-maker was none other than the team's star quarterback. Josh Allen did just enough to secure the victory for his team.
Allen threw the ball for 255 yards and two touchdowns, and looked like his usual impressive self during the game. The 33-30 scoreline suggests how tight the game was. And while a game like this is generally known for having a lot of big moments, one Allen play has really captured the fans' imaginations.
With the score at 16-13 in the third quarter, Allen had the ball for the Bills at the Raiders' 13-yard line. It was third down with eight yards to gain, and it would have been bad for Buffalo if they had to settle for the field goal.
The Raiders' defensive line knew they had to get the stop if they could. They sold out to try to sack Allen, but he somehow escaped the pocket. As more Las Vegas players rushed to meet him and put him on the ground, the 30-year-old casually flipped the ball to Keon Coleman in the endzone.

Bills HC Joe Brady in awe of rookie's 'stickiness' in win vs. Raiders appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Buffalo Bills returned to the winning column after suffering their first loss of the season, handing the Las Vegas Raiders a 33-30 loss in Week 6 of the NFL season. While the spotlight largely remained on Josh Allen and James Cook for their heroic performances, Bills head coach Joe Brady made sure to highlight rookie cornerback Davison Igbinosun's 'stickiness' in coverage following the win.
During his postgame press conference, Brady praised Igbinosun's ability to remain close to opposing receivers and continue competing regardless of the outcome of individual plays.
"We were a little matchier today in coverage, and the stickiness kind of showed, and that's what IGB kind of does," Brady said. "And what I love about IGB is he just keeps playing, and they might take a shot, and he's going to go right back at it with the same mindset."

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (ribs) went for seven receptions and 38 yards on eight targets in Week 6 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Kincaid suffered an injury to his ribs during the game.
SOURCE: NFL.com
Why it Matters: We'll keep an eye on Kincaid's injury, as he is a solid streaming option for fantasy managers when he is healthy. He has high-end TE2 value. If he is unable to play, Dawson Knox could be tasked with more responsibilities.

Las Vegas Raiders TE Michael Mayer caught seven of his nine targets for 95 yards in a 33-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 6.
SOURCE: USAToday.com
Why it Matters: Although Mayer has been quiet in four of the six games this year, he has topped 80 receiving yards in two of his last three outings, tallying a combined 15 receptions in those two contests. The lack of consistency makes Mayer a risky play, but with the ceiling he has shown recently, he can at least be on the TE2 radar.

Why it Matters: Shakir has been seeing a few more targets, along with Keon Coleman, while DJ Moore is sidelined. He is expected to be back in Week 7, so Shakir's time as a regular producer might be taking a hit soon. He remains a WR5 in most fantasy leagues as long as Moore is on the shelf.

The Packers have stabilized their offensive front, and their defense is taking significant strides. Now the team is on a bona fide winning streak.
Green Bay controlled the ball and the clock on Sunday night, defeating Dallas, 23-13.
The game didn't feel as close as the final score, as Green Bay took a 17-0 lead into halftime and allowed just one Dallas scoring drive until late in the fourth quarter.
While a second-half possession got aided by penalty and moved the Cowboys all the way down to the Green Bay 14, eventually the Packers still managed to get a turnover on downs when Dak Prescott's pass went high and incomplete out of the end zone.
Prescott ended up throwing 54 times, finishing the night with 258 yards on 34 completions. He a touchdown and two interceptions, both of which led to points in the first half — a field goal and a 1-yard touchdown run by Jordan Love at the end of the second quarter. He would've had at least one more had it not been negated by a roughing the passer penalty.

He is expected to be back in Week 7, so Coleman's usefulness as a regular producer might be decreasing soon. He is still a WR5 in most fantasy leagues as long as Moore is still mending.

He is expected to be back in Week 7, so Coleman's usefulness as a regular producer might be decreasing soon. He is still a WR5 in most fantasy leagues as long as Moore is still mending.

Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty rushed 10 times for 22 yards and a touchdown and caught four passes for 36 yards in a 33-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 6.
SOURCE: USAToday.com
Why it Matters: Jeanty scored his first rushing touchdown of the year, but he once again struggled to find much running room. Since topping 100 yards in the opener, Jeanty has been held below 60 rushing yards in five straight, failing to reach 30 rushing yards in his last two outings. His receiving numbers and overall workload give him a high floor, but Jeanty hasn't show elite upside.

Why it Matters: Allen failed to score a rushing touchdown in Sunday's game, which is about the only thing that went wrong. Allen continues to provide fantasy managers with outstanding stat lines. He remains a strong QB1 across the board.

Las Vegas Raiders QB Kirk Cousins completed 23 of his 41 passes for 313 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in a 33-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 6.
SOURCE: USAToday.com
Why it Matters: Cousins topped 300 passing yards for the second time in three weeks, and he has thrown multiple touchdowns in five of his six contests. The Raiders are now 3-3, and while they may eventually make the move to Fernando Mendoza, Cousins can be used as a QB2 as long as he is under center.

LAS VEGAS - In the zaniness of the play that resulted in his touchdown flip to Keon Coleman, Josh Allen didn't really know what happened.
He had Bills Mafia to thank for that.
"It's so hard in these away games, which feel like home games, once you hear the crowd go crazy, you're like, 'I don't know if it's a touchdown, I don't know if it's an interception,'" Allen said with a smile Sunday night following the Buffalo Bills' latest nutty victory, a 33-30 shootout over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Oh, it was a touchdown, one of the highlight plays of a season that is already filled with them for Allen and the Buffalo offense.
"That was a show, for sure," Bills center Connor McGovern said. "That was one of those, I stopped, I was like, holy (crap), he just did that."

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker has made it a weekly tradition to surpass the already-high expectations of Chiefs Kingdom. If he didn't blow our minds enough by gashing the Denver Broncos for 173 yards on the ground in the season opener, he doubled down against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 4 with 177 yards and a 76-yard run that turned the game in the second half.
Coming out of the bye week, there was reasonable speculation that rookie running back Emmett Johnson would spell Walker to keep the talented lead back fresh. Instead, Walker took the load again, gaining 139 yards from scrimmage on 21 touches.
None of his carries matched the long touchdown run that gave the Chiefs an early 9-0 lead over the Los Angeles Chargers.
On third-and-1, quarterback Patrick Mahomes came out of an under-center formation to hand off to Walker off counter action; right guard Trey Smith and second-year tight end Jake Briningstool made the key blocks to spring him in the first quarter.
"The 33-yarder was pretty open," Walker said in his post-game press conference. "(Tight end) Jake (Briningstool) came across and kicked out; there left was open."

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is enjoying the bye week with his wife, Taylor Swift.
After the Chiefs defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 30-27 in Week 4, he flew to Manhattan to meet up with Swift. The couple celebrated his birthday with dinner at Torrisi, which Kelce called "one of his favorite spots" on this week's "New Heights" podcast episode.
"It was a fun day. Got some food out here in New York," the 37-year-old said. "Got to hang with Tay," while noting they skipped birthday cake but ordered multiple desserts.

Republican efforts to reduce national gas prices in the weeks before Election Day were derailed in the Senate by infighting among GOP lawmakers and members of the administration who could not agree on how to ease consumers’ pain at the pump.
The divisions within the Senate Republican conference over how to lower gas and diesel prices — even if temporarily — were driven primarily by geographic differences.
Senators from oil-refining states shot down proposals from farm-state senators to ban the export of diesel or to loosen restrictions on the sale of E15 gasoline with higher ethanol content.
“You’re talking about regional politics, and it gets bogged down in the politics of energy, and the fiefdoms around it,” said Ron Bonjean, a GOP strategist and former Senate leadership aide.
There were divisions that went beyond geography, too.

Ben Affleck has spent so much of his adult life as tabloid fodder that some people probably know more about the alleged contents of his Dunkin' order than they do about some of his movies. Bennifer alone generated enough headlines for several lifetimes, and even relatively mundane activities tend to become internet events. Remember the Sad Affleck meme and those miserable-looking cigarette photos? Of course you do. Well, someone finally asked him about all that tabloid ink spilled on him and he's more candid than I'd ever have guessed.
During a new installment of GQ's One More Question, the outlet brought up one particularly bizarre stretch in early 2025, when the former Batman performer was simultaneously dealing with rumors that his home had burned in the Los Angeles fires and that the FBI had raided the property. His response was much more resigned than angry, as he explained:
I have them much less frequently now, which is nice, but there are still occasionally these strange flareups. At the time, there were both rumors that the FBI had raided my home and that my house had burned down. They can't both be true. It's like all these things, and then none of it turns out to be true, and ****** ody remembers it.

Travis Kelce, born October 5, 1989, turned 37 earlier this week and has now shared how he celebrated his birthday with wife Taylor Swift.
The pair were married at Madison Square Garden earlier this year before Travis returned to NFL action with the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Chiefs secured a big win over the Las Vegas Raiders the day prior to Kelce's birthday, which he mentioned when telling his brother about what he did on the day.
Speaking on the New Heights podcast this week, Travis revealed he spent his birthday hanging 'out with Tay' and went to one of his 'favourite spots, Torrisi'.
He said: "It was a good day [his birthday]. Got some food out here in New York and went to one of my favourite spots, Torrisi. Hung out with Tay. And the best news I got on my birthday was that we got a victory.

LOCHIEL, Ariz. — For more than two months, activists sat high up in the branches of a giant cottonwood tree here on the border with Mexico in an effort to block federal contractors from knocking it down to make way for President Donald Trump’s $46.5 billion border wall expansion.
But that standoff came to an end Monday when demonstrators say more than 50 Customs and Border Protection agents raided the activist camp and an excavator knocked down what they called a “grandmother” tree, estimated to be 150 to 250 years old.
Footage taken by protesters shows the massive tree crashing down as border agents look on, and the activists who worked to protect it wail.
“We have been raided, **** aulted, battered, bruised, bleeding by the Border Patrol agents,” said Kate Scott, an activist who kicked off the group’s tree sit, in a call following Monday’s raid. As CBP cleared the area, about 10 people were arrested, the group of activists estimates, and another 10 received citations, including for “violation of a closure order” for being in the border-wall zone.
At least one activist showed images of scrapes and bandages on a Monday video call.
