This time, a win with rumored girlfriend Taylor Swift in attendance couldn’t prevent Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce from leaving “pissed off.”

Kelce told The Athletic he was furious about the offense, which struggled against the Jets defense in their 23-20 win Sunday.

Kelce caught six passes for 60 yards, but Patrick Mahomes (203 yards, one touchdown, two interceptions) was outplayed by Zach Wilson (245 yards, two touchdowns, zero interceptions) and Gang Green had a chance to tie the game — or take the lead — midway through the fourth quarter before a costly fumble by Wilson.

“I spoke with Travis Kelce walking off the field tonight and he was not happy. He was pissed off about the offense,” The Athletic’s Dianna Russini wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, about her conversation with Kelce while walking off the MetLife Stadium field.

“He mentioned penalties and mistakes were costly and they did nothing to help the defense tonight. It was a win but not how they wanted.”

Once Wilson fumbled, the Chiefs orchestrated a 15-play, 45-yard drive that drained the final 7:24 off the clock.

The Jets had reached Kansas City’s 49-yard line before the turnover — just needing a field goal to complete the 17-point comeback and tie the game.

Mahomes threw an 8-yard pass to Kelce on the final drive and had another completion called back due to an offensive holding penalty.

Still, outside of any lingering frustration over how close the Jets kept their game against the reigning Super Bowl champions, Kelce spent another night in the NFL and pop culture spotlight with Swift in attendance.

Kelce visited Swift’s apartment Sunday morning after she spent the previous night in New York City with Sophie Turner, Blake Lively and Brittany Mahomes, while Kelce dined separately at Meduza Mediterrania, according to Page Six.

Then, Swift became the star of NBC’s broadcast, with camera cutting to her 17 times at different points throughout the night, according to The Athletic.

She sat next to Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, conversed with Kelce’s mother, Donna, and even joined Mahomes at times throughout the game.

But unlike last weekend, when Swift and Kelce left Arrowhead Stadium in his convertible and went to a postgame celebration at Prime Social Rooftop, the duo left MetLife Stadium separately.

The next stop for the Kelce-Swift tour, if the singer continues traveling to the Chiefs’ games, will occur in Minnesota next weekend, as the Chiefs face the Vikings with the chance for their offense to find a rhythm and top 23 points for just the second time this season.
