Some might say Kelce has been unable to "shake it off."

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end decided to speak on the topic during his appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" Thursday on ESPN.

"I told her that I've seen you rock a stage in Arrowhead, so you might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead. And see which one is a little more lit," Kelce said with a smile. "We'll see what happens in the near future."

The (rumored) "Love Story" began in July when Kelce shared that he was upset that his opportunity to present Swift with a friendship bracelet -- along with his phone number -- went by the boards during her Kansas City stop of the "Eras Tour."

The rumor mill began picking up steam throughout the summer about the potential power couple, albeit with unconfirmed reports.

Eagles center Jason Kelce was asked about his brother's relationship situation Wednesday on 94.1 WIP in Philadelphia.

"I don't really know what's happening in Travis' love life. I try to keep his business kind of his business and stay out of that world," Jason Kelce said. "But having said that, I think he's doing great and I think that it's all 100 percent true."

Jason Kelce was quick to note that he was joking.

Let's hope all goes well for Travis Kelce, considering Swift is known for her breakup songs.

After all, it would be a shame if they "are never ever getting back together" -- if they ever are together in the first place.

The Super Bowl champion made the announcement on social media on Thursday.

Duvernay-Tardif, who also is a doctor, walked away from football in 2020 to work in medicine in his native Canada at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. For his efforts, Sports Illustrated named him the Sportsperson of the Year.

"I've had the chance to play in the NFL for 9 years and even today, I sometimes can't believe I was able to experience this adventure," Duvernay-Tardif wrote Thursday on Instagram. "Being a professional athlete is a privilege as well as an extremely enriching human and personal experience. The victories, losses and injuries have all been moments to learn how to win and lose as a team while managing a wide range of emotions."

Duvernay-Tardif, 32, played for the Kansas City Chiefs from 2015-19, appearing in 60 games (57 starts). He decided to return to football in the fall of 2021, and the Chiefs traded him to the New York Jets on Nov. 2 as part of a four-team deal.

He has played in 73 career games (65 starts) and won a Super Bowl title with the Chiefs during the 2019 season.

Kansas City will face the visiting Chicago Bears on Sunday in a matchup of the league's top and bottom teams from a season ago.

What's more, the Bears (0-2) are currently in turmoil following the midweek resignation of defensive coordinator Alan Williams and renewed unrest under center.

The Chiefs (1-1) hope to come untracked against Chicago after managing just 20 and 17 points in their first two games. The Bears have lost 12 games in a row dating back to last season while surrendering at least 25 points in each setback.

Kansas City defeated host Jacksonville 17-9 in Week 2 as the offense navigated around three early turnovers. Patrick Mahomes threw for two scores, with one going to tight end Travis Kelce, who missed the season opener with a knee injury.

"You play bad and win, it's a lot better than playing bad and losing," Mahomes said. "So I was glad we were able to find a way to get a win at the end of the day, but a lot of stuff that we have to be better at."

Chicago drove for a touchdown on its opening possession last Sunday but was otherwise less than spectacular on offense during a 27-17 road loss to Tampa Bay.

Justin Fields, who is attempting to hone his pocket-passing ability this season, has been inconsistent. He has passed for 427 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions, two of which have been returned for scores.

"I need to play better," Fields said. "That's it, point blank."

Fields has also lost a fumble and been sacked 10 times. He'll be behind a shuffling offensive line once more in Week 3, as the Bears placed left tackle Braxton Jones (neck) on injured reserve on Wednesday.

While the Bears' offensive struggles remain well-documented, the defense is trying to find its footing, too.

Chicago enters Sunday with just one sack while allowing opponents to convert 54.8 percent of their third downs, the second-highest rate in the league.

There's also the matter of Williams, who was away from the team in Week 2 due to personal reasons. Head coach Matt Eberflus called defensive plays against Tampa Bay and said before the franchise announced Williams' resignation that he would be in line to do so again versus Kansas City.

Williams said in a statement that he was stepping aside to "take care of my health and my family." A team spokesperson confirmed Wednesday that there had been no police activity related to Williams at the team's practice facility.

Bears cornerback Josh Blackwell (hamstring) was limited at practice on Wednesday, while safety Eddie Jackson (foot) did not participate.

The Chiefs are hopeful their health can improve, too. Linebackers Nick Bolton and Willie Gay Jr. didn't practice on Wednesday as they are dealing with ankle and quad injuries, respectively. Running back Isiah Pacheco (hamstring) and receivers Kadarius Toney (toe) and Richie James (knee) were also non-participants.

Cornerback L'Jarius Sneed was limited due to a knee injury.

Kansas City coach Andy Reid said each player is day-to-day apart from James, who "might be a little longer."

Pacheco is dealing with a hamstring injury and Toney has a sprained toe heading into Week 3 against Chicago.

Pacheco, 24, has 20 carries for 93 yards and five catches for 31 yards through two games this season.

Toney, 24, has six catches for 36 yards in two games. He dropped four passes in the Week 1 loss to Detroit.

His compensation over that stretch from 2023-26 is now guaranteed and becomes the highest salary in NFL history for a four-season span, according to the report.

Equity Sports CEO Chris Cabott also told ESPN that the Chiefs and Mahomes plan to revisit the agreement following the 2026 season.

Mahomes agreed to a 10-year, $450 million extension in 2020. At the time, it was the largest contract in NFL history in terms of total value.

The NFL quarterback market has since been reset, with Mahomes' $45 million average annual salary trailing Joe Burrow ($55 million), Justin Herbert ($52.5 million), Lamar Jackson ($52 million), Jalen Hurts ($51 million), Russell Wilson ($48.5 million), Kyler Murray ($46.1 million) and Deshaun Watson ($46 million), per Spotrac.

Under the new terms, Mahomes would earn $52.65 million in each of the next four campaigns.

Mahomes, who turned 28 on Sunday, won his second Super Bowl and second league MVP award last season.

Including a 1-1 start to this season, Mahomes is 65-17 as a starter in the regular season and 11-3 in the postseason. He has passed for 24,772 yards, 196 touchdowns and 51 interceptions in 82 starts since the Chiefs drafted him in the first round (10th overall) in 2017.

Mahomes threw touchdown passes to Skyy Moore and Travis Kelce as the Chiefs (1-1) rebounded from a season-opening 21-20 loss to the Detroit Lions. Mahomes completed 29 of 41 passes with one interception and Kelce caught four passes for 26 yards after missing the opener due to a hyperextended knee.

Kansas City's Chris Jones and George Karlaftis each recorded 1.5 sacks. It was Jones' first game since ending his holdout.

The Chiefs had a 399-271 yardage edge while defeating Jacksonville for the eighth straight time, including last season's 27-20 in the AFC divisional round of the playoffs.

Trevor Lawrence completed 22 of 41 passes for 216 yards for the Jaguars (1-1). Christian Kirk grabbed 11 passes for 110 yards, but fellow wideouts Zay Jones and Calvin Ridley each failed to get both feet down on end-zone throws on two occasions apiece.

The Chiefs were sluggish on offense in the first half but opened the third quarter with a seven-play, 81-yard touchdown drive.

Isiah Pacheco began the drive with a 31-yard run and Mahomes converted two third-down throws, including a 9-yard scoring pass to Kelce to make it 14-6 with 11:30 remaining in the third quarter.

The score marked the 47th time Mahomes connected with Kelce on a touchdown pass. That set a new Kansas City record, surpassing the 46 times Len Dawson hooked up with Otis Taylor from 1965-74.

The Jaguars had a stellar opportunity early in the fourth quarter when they had first-and-goal from the Chiefs' 1-yard line, but they had to settle for Brandon McManus's 22-yard field goal. Lawrence lost 3 yards on a run, Zay Jones got just one foot down in the end zone on a second-down pass and Calvin Ridley got no feet in on a third-down throw.

Not cashing in was costly as the Chiefs answered with a 13-play, 55-yard drive. Harrison Butker capped it with a 38-yard field goal to make it 17-9 with 8:10 remaining.

The Jaguars made another dash. On fourth-and-12 from the Kansas City 16, Lawrence threw to Ridley in the back of the end zone. Ridley bobbled the ball before corralling it but only had one foot down on the incompletion with 4:18 remaining.

Mahomes and Moore teamed up on a 54-yard pass play with 1:50 left to seal it for the Chiefs, who ran out the clock.

Kansas City led 7-6 at halftime. Mahomes threw a touchdown to Moore, while McManus kicked field goals of 32 and 49 yards for the Jaguars. Jones also had just one foot down in the end zone on a would-be catch early in the second quarter before McManus' first field goal.

The move comes one day after head coach Andy Reid told reporters that Jones would play in Sunday's game against the Jaguars (1-0).

Jones, 29, ended his holdout that began in training camp after agreeing Monday to a new one-year deal with incentives that reportedly could earn him more than his base salary of $19.5 million -- the final pay due on his four-year, $80 million contract signed in 2020.

Jones racked up 15.5 sacks in 17 games last season and earned his fourth Pro Bowl nod. In 107 games (86 starts) for the Chiefs since being drafted in the second round in 2016, Jones has 65 sacks, 12 forced fumbles and 243 tackles.

Also on Saturday, the Chiefs (0-1) activated running back La'Mical Perine and defensive tackle Matt Dickerson from the practice squad and waived cornerback Darius Rush.

Toney addressed reporters Wednesday for the first time since the Chiefs' 21-20 loss to the Detroit Lions, a game that saw Toney drop two crucial passes, one that ended up going for a Lions pick-6. Toney has been the butt of social media jokes and memes since the loss, but it's his team he most cares about.

"In reality, I told coach, I told Pat (Mahomes), I told all the guys, that's on me," Toney said. "At the end of the day, y'all count on me and rely on me to make certain plays and I have to be able to do that."

Toney finished with one catch for 1 yard against the Lions on a team-high-tying five targets. The Chiefs needed a go-to receiver against the Lions with All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce missing the game with a knee injury.

Toney missed training camp after having surgery to repair a partial tear in his meniscus. He played in seven games (three starts) for the Chiefs in 2022 after getting traded from the New York Giants. So, he's still trying to get things figured out.

Toney has had the full support of his teammates and coaches, including Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, who told him to just settle down.

Mahomes said after the game he's sure "those drops will disappear."

"I have trust in KT. He missed a lot of training camp," Mahomes said Thursday. "Obviously, he wanted to play and fought in rehab hard so he could play. Stuff is not always going to go your way, obviously, he would have wanted to catch a few of those in the game, but I have trust that he is going to be the guy that I go to in those crucial moments and he's going to make the catch and win us some games like he did last year and get him more and more reps."

As for Toney, he's looking straight ahead to Jacksonville on Sunday in Week 2.

"Just thinking about next week and how I can make plays," Toney said. "I'm not going to dwell on the past."
