Cameras caught San Francisco 49ers offensive tackle Trent Williams committing a kind gesture for a young fan after being ejected in Sunday’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Trent Williams was ejected late in the fourth quarter after exchanging punches with Chiefs safety Bryan Cook. Oddly, Cook wasn’t ejected even though he threw the first punch in the confrontation:
It was indeed a frustrating outing for Williams and the 49ers. The defending NFC Champions are now a disappointing 3-4 through seven games, and the loss dropped San Francisco to 0-5 against Patrick Mahomes.
Despite being ejected, Trent Williams kept the mood positive and made a young fan’s day by autographing her hat as he headed into the tunnel:
There was a lot of hype around the Chiefs-49ers game once the 2024 schedule was released, as it marked a rematch of the thrilling Super Bowl 58 showdown last February. But it turned out to be a sloppy affair on both sides, with the two clubs combining for five turnovers (all interceptions) and just 639 yards of offense.
The 49ers were dealt another major blow when star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk was carted off after suffering a knee injury late in the second quarter. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said after the game that they fear a season-ending ACL tear for the All-Pro wideout.
Trent Williams & 49ers Must Bounce Back Next Week
The silver lining for the 49ers is that the NFC West is still very much within reach, as they trail the division-leading Seattle Seahawks (4-3) by just one game. And remember, the 49ers would hold the head-to-head tiebreak with a season-series sweep of Geno Smith and company.
But it’ll be time to hit the panic button if the 49ers lose to the slumping Dallas Cowboys (3-3) at home next Sunday. The 49ers have owned Dak Prescott, whose Cowboys have looked vulnerable on both sides of the ball this season.
Travis Kelce Used One Word To Describe His Whirlwind Relationship With Taylor Swift

Travis Kelce is proud to have girlfriend Taylor Swift by his side, and he doesn’t mind that the whole world is watching.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been dating since at least September 2023 when she shocked everybody by showing up to Arrowhead Stadium. The move came months after Kelce first publicly expressed interest in Swift, after attending one of her concerts and failing to send a friendship bracelet to her with his number on it.
Travis Kelce knows just how obsessed the world is with his relationship.
“I’m very aware,” Kelce said when asked whether he understands the “impact” his romance with Taylor Swift was having on the NFL.
“Obviously, this is mostly because Taylor’s in my life now and we got her [to be] part of Chiefs Kingdom,” he explained in a resurfaced interview with sports reporter Laura Okmin ahead of the Super Bowl.
“And sure enough, that brought an entire entourage of human beings who just love to support her and love to support everything that she’s about.”
He used an incredible word to describe their relationship.
“With that being said, I do, you know, have a guarded approach to it,” he explained before Super Bowl 58. “But at the same time, I know what me and Taylor have is special, so I get [the interest].”
Taylor Swift was spotted at 13 of Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs football games this past season, first popping up in a box at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri on Sept. 24, 2023. The team won 10 of the 13 games at which she’s been in attendance.
That also included the team winning playoff games over the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and then the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.
Kelce finished the Super Bowl with nine receptions for 93 yards, including a crucial catch in overtime.
The 34-year-old slowed down slightly in 2023, finishing with 93 catches for 984 yards and five touchdowns. It should be noted he did miss two games, Week 1 due to injury and Week 17 as he chose to sit out with the Chiefs not playing for anything.
