Everyone knows Swift only attends Chiefs home games to watch her beau, Travis Kelce, play. So, if you go by this equation. Then, Swift is expected to attend at least 9 games this year, including the one on Christmas Day against the Broncos. Aside from those nine games, Swift could also be present in Nashville when the Chiefs take on the Titans. Given it’s Swift’s home city, the chances of her attending that Dec 21st game could be on the cards.

Meanwhile, going back to the Chiefs’ schedule. It’s safe to say they are the darlings of the NFL to bring in those viewers.

Patrick Mahomes’ Chiefs match the NFL record in prime time games

Nearly half of the NFL’s prime-time slots this season are occupied by the Chiefs. Jeff Karr of CBS Sports sent out a bit of his analysis on this matter. “This year, the NFL decided to give the Chiefs seven prime-time games—the most in the league. The Chiefs are playing five-prime time games over the first eight weeks, tied for the most of any team in NFL history,” Karr reported. The Chiefs’ seven prime-time games also tie an NFL record with 2023’s Buffalo Bills. Here’s how the Chiefs’ games have been set.

They are taking on the NFC East in their intraconference slate this season. This means that the Eagles, Commanders, and Cowboys are all on the Chiefs’ schedule. Now there’s also the AFC West, from which three teams qualified for the playoffs last year. Chargers, Broncos, and Raiders will all be on the clock against the Chiefs. Now, considering the Chiefs won their division. They will have to face other AFC opponents who have won their respective divisions. Ravens, Texans, and Bills.

And finally, they have the Lions as the NFL’s schedule pits the NFC North winners against the AFC West holders. With the Chiefs spearheading the NFL’s schedule this season, the pressure will be on them to deliver. Every week, the eyes of America will be glued to the red and gold. So, it will be fun to watch how the Chiefs deliver on this front.
