The San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs are facing off in a Week 7 matchup, and things are starting to get chippy. That becomes apparent when you see what happened to Patrick Mahomes.

At the end of a play, cameras caught San Francisco defensive lineman Maliek Collins punching Mahomes in the throat right before a referee.

Of course, given how much the NFL wants to protect quarterbacks, it’s surprising that Collins got away with it without even a flag.

That becomes even more true when it’s Mahomes who took the punch.

Social Media Does Not Fell Bad For Patrick Mahomes

Mahomes is one of the players that many think gets way too many calls in his favor.

Of course, this likely should have been a flag, but many on social media don’t feel bad for the quarterback.

“Don’t really care, gotta give the world a couple back after all nonsense they’ve been getting away with these last 5 games. But yes that’s a penalty. Don’t care,” said one comment.

“Sucks when the refs don’t call things, doesn’t it?” said another.

“Welcome to how the rest of the league lives, Patrick,” added a third.

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.
