- Mahomes secured the touchdown ball for Kelce and lauded him as the “true Chiefs’ Chief,” while Andy Reid highlighted the veteran’s daily energy and longevity.
- ESPN’s broadcast briefly showed Taylor Swift celebrating in a suite after the score as Kelce marked the moment with a nod to her work on the field and referenced her latest era with an orange pregame look.
