Ex-Chiefs Star Okoye Defends Taylor Swift Amid Team's Struggles

Okoye suggests on-field performance issues, not Swift's relationship with Travis Kelce, are to blame for the Chiefs' recent woes.

Former Chiefs running back Christian Okoye has defended pop star Taylor Swift against critics blaming her for the team's recent struggles, stating that she has nothing to do with the team's performance.
Okoye suggests that the team's issues lie in their on-field performance, with receivers struggling to hold onto the ball and opponents doubling up on star tight end Travis Kelce.
Kelce, who is dating Swift, has seen a drop in his performance this season, with only five touchdowns compared to 12 in the previous season.
Despite the criticism, Swift continues to support the Chiefs and is expected to attend their game against the Bengals.
Okoye's comments follow similar remarks from former NFL running back Merril Hoge, who also dismissed the idea that Swift is a distraction for the team.
