Former Kansas City legend kicker Nick Lowery is the latest to suggest Travis Kelce is responsible for the Chiefs’ loss on Sunday amid the high-profile romance with Taylor Swift and recent public appearances.
Kelce will be an easy target on Sunday after the Kansas City Chiefs’ first loss to the Denver Broncos since 2015.
Add to those piling into the tight end Kansas City’s legendary kicker Lowery, who attended Game 1 of the World Series last Friday and was partying in Texas in the early hours of Saturday morning.
“I’m only going to say this once… ‘I love my Chiefs,’” Lowery said on Facebook on Sunday. “I love (Chiefs quarterback) Patrick (Mahomes)…I love Travis, and it was fun to witness the ‘Taylor factor’ – as long as it’s not a distraction.”
“However, when I saw Travis watching the World Series in Texas… on a Friday night before a road game… I have to finish the sentence,” Lowery joked.

Kelce’s public profile has grown into perhaps the biggest of anyone in the NFL since his romance with Swift went public in recent months.
The Eras Tour star has attended several of his matches this season and the couple has been spotted together a few times in New York City.
Swift did not attend Sunday’s game in Denver as she prepares for the South American dates of her record-breaking world tour.
“It’s always about staying hungry and humble. We don’t know what time he got home Friday night,” Lowery said.
‘But it’s distracting and it’s not a good message for the rest of the team. “Travis is a phenomenal, true-to-life leader that the players look up to, a fantastic human being, and one of the greatest Chiefs of all time – period, and one of my favorite people anywhere,” Lowery continued.
“We will bounce back!” Lowery said. “Let this be a lesson.”

Kelce had six receptions for 58 yards, but no touchdowns. That was Kelce’s worst performance since Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars — his first game of the season after being ruled out of the Chiefs’ season opener due to injury.
The Chiefs’ six-game win streak was snapped with the loss to the Broncos, with Mahomes not throwing a touchdown pass. Lowery played fourteen seasons for Kansas City.
Kansas City returns to action on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins with the game taking place in Frankfurt, Germany.
It’s safe to say Swift won’t be traveling to Europe with Kelce.
