“Chris Collinsworth literally can’t make it a full half of football without awkwardly jamming the Chiefs into the conversation. Packers are running the ball well? Well obviously that’s because of the Chiefs! Good point, Chris,” wrote another.
“Tirico: It’s great to see teams who signed high end running backs have lots of success with committing to the run. Collinsworth: The Kansas City Chiefs have a lot to do with that,” wrote another fed-up viewer.
“12 mins left in the half and Collinsworth is already talking about the Chiefs in,” wrote a fan.
“A lot of people don’t know that Cris Collinsworth is contractually obligated to mention the Chiefs in every game,” a fan joked.
“We’re only in the 2nd qtr and Chris Collinsworth has already brought up the chiefs on Sunday night football,” an unhappy viewer said.
“Leave it to Collinsworth to find a way to find the Chiefs credit for Green Bay’s quick start,” said another.

There’s a conspiracy theory for just about everything, including bizarre ones relating to the highly publicized relationship between Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
The three-time Super Bowl champion has been in a relationship with Taylor Swift for over a year. Their rumored romance was confirmed when Swift attended the Chiefs’ Week 3, 2023 home game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.
Kelce’s romance with Swfit has been a giant win for the Chiefs and the NFL, too. She has brought plenty more attention to the NFL and contributed to the Chiefs’ skyrocketing popularity worldwide.
Naturally, conspiracy theorists believe the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift romance is simply a marketing ploy to help the Chiefs and the league. But Chiefs president Mark Donovan finally addressed the ridiculous rumor during an appearance on NBC’s “Squawk Box” program:
“I’d love to say that it was a marketing strategy, but it is an authentic relationship. And we’re happy to have it, and it’s been nothing but good for us.
I think the best thing I can say about the whole relationship and the impact it’s had on us is, Taylor Swift is an authentic member of the Kansas City Chiefs kingdom. She’s an authentic fan and that matters to our fans and our fan base and to matters to us and we try to respect that.”
