The Kansas City Chiefs are riding a winning streak but know the NFL can be unpredictable. With the trade deadline looming on November 5th, they’re actively looking to bolster their already impressive roster. Led by stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, their offense is firing on all cylinders, but they remain open to adding even more firepower.
On October 28th, the Chiefs traded for linebacker Josh Uche from the New England Patriots for a 6th-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Although Uche has struggled this season, this move reflects the Chiefs’ commitment to strengthening their defense.
In a notable setback, they placed tight end Jody Fortson on Injured Reserve after he injured his right knee against the Raiders, sidelining him until Week 12.
Despite early struggles, Travis Kelce is regaining his form, with 10 receptions for 90 yards and his first touchdown in Week 8, bringing excitement to Chiefs fans as they continue their impressive 7-0 start.
Interestingly, a peculiar theory has emerged regarding the timing of Kelce’s first touchdown in Week 8.

The power couple has been busy with their careers. While Kelce has been grinding on the football field, his pop star girlfriend is wrapping up the final stretch of her Eras Tour. On October 26th, just one day before the Chiefs’ Week 8 game against the Raiders, she performed in New Orleans and made a hand gesture mimicking a touchdown. One fan predicted that a TD was coming for Kelce—and it did.
Kelce snagged a 5-yard touchdown during the Chiefs’ 27-20 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, marking his 75th career touchdown. With this score, Kelce became just the fifth tight end in NFL history to surpass 75 receiving touchdowns from the same position. And all of this happened on National Tight Ends Day, October 27th.
Fans couldn’t help but credit Swift, claiming Kelce had made her “wish” come true. Some Swifties even joked about “Tayvoodoo,” suggesting her presence brings him good luck. There might be something to it—Kelce’s been in top form since their vacation during the bye week, showing that a little time off (and love) never hurts.
With him, the Chiefs are having a great time, and the locker room is primed for a 3-peat. The trio of Reid, Mahomes, and Kelce are making all the necessary changes for a victorious season. The Chiefs seem all set to lift the trophy again.
