As the Kansas City Chiefs dropped three of four games, NFL fans and pundits have pointed to Taylor Swift as the reason the team hasn’t looked like itself.
Former NFL linebacker Shawne Merriman pushed back on the narrative in an appearance on OutKick’s “Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich.” He said everyone is looking for a scapegoat.
He said no one in the locker room cares about who’s dating whom.
“The funny part is everyone is always looking for their scapegoat or something else, right? Before you know it, they’ll start blaming different things on Kelce and stuff he does off the field in general,” Merriman explained.
“They’ll blame it on the Kelce podcast. They’ll figure out a way, like, ‘Oh, he’s not focusing on the game because he’s still on his podcast,’ right? ‘He’s not focusing on the game because he’s at all of Taylor Swift’s concerts.’”
The former Chargers star said the bottom line was the team hasn’t been playing well, from Patrick Mahomes down.
