Swifties lambast Bills fans after barbs exchanged pregame

Swifties didn’t hold back in mocking #Bills fans who they felt had disparaged Taylor Swift before Buffalo’s loss to the #Chiefs on Saturday night.

Fans around the NFL saw the Kansas City Chiefs handle their business in nail-biting fashion against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night. The Chiefs’ 27-24 win in Buffalo punched Kansas City’s ticket to a sixth-consecutive AFC Championship Game appearance and left Buffalo’s fans speechless.

Some of the Chiefs’ newest devotees, the so-called “Swifties”, got their first taste of high-stakes playoff football during the hotly-contested tilt after exchanging barbs with the Bills Mafia in the buildup to the game.

Sparks flew at the matchup’s conclusion after Buffalo’s kicker, Tyler Bass, missed a field goal that could have evened the score with mere minutes remaining in regulation.

The Swifties were ruthless in their mockery of Bills fans who they felt had disparaged the good name of their favorite pop superstar, Taylor Swift, with their behavior and signs ahead of the game’s kickoff.

Check out some of the Swifties’ responses to Buffalo after the Chiefs’ hard-fought win on Sunday night:

Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium gets octopus involved in Chiefs game day ritual

The Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium got a giant Pacific octopus named Chuck involved in their #Chiefs game day rituals.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ matchup against the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional round of the AFC playoffs is set to be one of the most competitive games of the NFL postseason, and some fans are coping with their anticipation ahead of kickoff in unprecedented ways.

On Sunday morning, the Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium posted a video of an octopus, Chuck, doing his part to get in the game day spirit by playing with a Chiefs commemorative football.

Set to dramatic music, the clip of Chuck manipulating the oblong spheroid was a unique way for fans and, as it turns out, aquatic wildlife to get in their zone ahead of Kansas City’s win-or-go-home tilt against the Bills.

As a giant Pacific octopus, Chuck’s natural allegiance could be with one of the NFL teams on the West Coast, but it is impossible to tell given that he is non-verbal.

Chiefs fans have innumerable traditions, superstitions, and pre-game rituals that they believe might help the Chiefs win, but this humble cephalopod’s demonstration is sure to be the most bizarre.

WATCH: Demario Davis addresses Saints pregame huddle for maybe the last time in 2023

WATCH: Demario Davis addresses Saints pregame huddle for what may be the last time in the 2023 season

The New Orleans Saints have underachieved this year, but you can’t put the blame on Demario Davis. The veteran linebacker has continued to step up when his team has needed him — proving yet again why he’s such a valuable leader in the locker room. He leads by example and works hard to elevate those around him.

And on Sunday, Davis delivered his traditional pregame speech to his huddled teammates for what may be the final time during the 2023 season. The Saints will be eliminated from playoff contention with a loss to the archrival Atlanta Falcons. A win won’t clinch a playoff berth either, but the roads to the postseason all start there. Hopefully Davis and his Saints teammates can do enough to win the day and see if their season will keep going.

Backstreet Boys’ Kevin Richardson to serve as drum honoree for Chiefs vs. Bengals

Backstreet Boys’ Kevin Richardson to serve as drum honoree for Chiefs vs. Bengals

The Kansas City Chiefs have chosen their drum honoree for the Week 17 regular-season home finale at Arrowhead Stadium against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Kevin Richardson, known globally as a member of one of the most prominent singing groups in history, the Backstreet Boys, serves as the team’s drum leader against the Bengals on Sunday. He will get a chance to put on a show for Chiefs Kingdom ahead of kickoff, pounding the drum on the GEHA Drum Deck and getting fans excited for the game.

Pregame entertainment will include Goldpine, a recording duo, which will sing the national anthem, and the Topeka Police Department Honor Guard will present the colors. If the weather permits, A KC-130 tanker from the 139th Airlift Wing of the Missouri National Guard will conduct a flyover.

In 2021, days before Super Bowl LV, Richardson spoke exclusively to Chiefs Wire’s Ed Easton Jr. about how he became a die-hard Chiefs fan due in large part to his wife.

“My girlfriend at the time was a Kansas City girl. We started dating in 1992. Fast forward 28 years later, and she’s my wife. We have two boys, so she’s from Overland Park, Kansas. She went to school at Shawnee Mission High School. She’s Kansas City grown and grew up going to the Chiefs games with her family; her dad was a Chiefs’ ticket holder. She’s running around there in the 1970s at Arrowhead (Stadium) growing up as a kid, and so I married into the Chiefs,” said Richardson, “and ironically, (Marcus) Allen and (Joe) Montana had come over; it was a perfect fit, and I’ve been a fan ever since, all the way through Derrick Thomas, Tony Gonzalez, Priest Holmes, Will Shields, Trent Green, Larry Johnson, Dante Hall, Tamba Ali, all the greats.”

Richardson will get the crowd in a frenzy as the Chiefs look to clinch another AFC West division championship.
