Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs are on a roll!
The defending Super Bowl champs — looking to become the first team to win three consecutive titles in NFL history — pulled off a 26-13 win over the New Orleans Saints at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City as Kelce’s girlfriend Taylor Swift celebrated the victory alongside members of both their families.
Swift, 34, cheered for Kelce — who turned 35 on Saturday, Oct. 5 — alongside the NFL star’s family: parents Donna and Ed Kelce, Travis’s brother Jason Kelce‘s wife Kylie (Jason was elsewhere fulfilling his ESPN broadcast duties), and her father Scott Swift during the Week 5 matchup in Kansas City.
The Chiefs’ win over the Saints puts them at a perfect 5-0 record on the current NFL season.

Prior to the Chiefs’ Week 4 game in Los Angeles (they beat the Chargers 17-10 on Sept. 29), Kelce had gotten off to a slower start than in previous seasons.
The tight end said earlier this month that he wasn’t concerned about his slow start and has been able to get more touches in the previous two weeks.

On the Sept. 18 episode of his New Heights podcast with Jason, Travis said he no longer stresses out about underwhelming performances on the field.
“I used to get really, really pissed off and almost lose my cool a lot of the time from not having that success knowing that I demand that out of myself and I just like to play the game to such a high level of accountability that it’s just tough for me to deal with being mediocre or having stats that represent that,” Travis said.
He continued, “For whatever reason, these past two games it hasn’t gone that way for me and that’s football, man. I’m not about to sit here and get frustrated about it.”

Meanwhile, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has also voiced his thoughts on Travis’ stats in aninterview this season.
“Obviously we’ve played two opponents [Ravens, Bengals] we’ve played a lot, so they have a plan on how they’re going to account for Travis,” the reigning Super Bowl MVP said.
“But as the season goes on, I mean, he’s going to get his catches, he’s going to get his yards, but the leader he is, what’s special is he’s hyping everybody up, he’s keeping everybody motivated, and that’s what you need out of your great players,” Mahomes added.
The Chiefs have their bye week coming up, and will next take the field against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, Oct. 20.
