Taylor Swift absent from Training Camp, Kelce declares: “If I have to choose between the spotlight and glory on the field, I’ll always choose football.”

The Kansas City Chiefs are heading into the new season surrounded by plenty of off-field stories, but all eyes remain on Travis Kelce—the veteran star, now 35, who still carries the spirit and fitness of a true warrior. Notably, throughout training camp, there has been no sign of Taylor Swift—the superstar singer and Kelce’s girlfriend—cheering him on as she has in the past.

Amid curiosity from the media and fans, Kelce made an emotional statement:

“I love having Taylor’s support, but football is my passion and my life’s career. If I have to choose between the spotlight and glory on the field, I’ll always choose football. This training camp, I want everything to be about the team—no exceptions, no distractions, nothing can take the place of the goal to win.”

Kelce’s words quickly made waves across social media, with the Chiefs Kingdom community sharing them as a testament to his professionalism and rare dedication. In a time of rumors about retirement and generational change, Kelce continues to show his leadership qualities, willing to sacrifice his private life for his unwavering commitment to the team.

Entering his 13th season, Kelce remains an inspiration to fans and teammates—not just through his achievements on the field, but with the story behind the scenes: always willing to put everything aside for the goal of becoming a champion.

Ravens Update Quarterback Depth Amid Controversies - Re-signed Pro Bowl Star to QB2
Baltimore, MD – October 7, 2025 Following Cooper Rush's disappointing performance in the humiliating 10-44 loss to the Houston Texans on Saturday (October 6), the Baltimore Ravens are facing intense debates about their quarterback room depth. With Lamar Jackson still nursing a hamstring injury and potentially missing the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Rams (scheduled for Week 6), the big question arises: Should Tyler Huntley – the former Ravens Pro Bowl star – get the starting nod over Rush? Huntley, 27 years old, was re-signed by the Ravens to the practice squad at the end of August 2025 and quickly elevated to QB2 for Week 5. He served as the Ravens' backup QB from 2020-2024, leading the team to the playoffs in 2022 and earning a Pro Bowl replacement spot thanks to his impressive performances filling in for Jackson. With experience in 9 starts (3-6 record), Huntley brings familiarity to the Ravens' offensive system, particularly his mobility and game-reading skills – something Rush seemed to lack in the Texans loss, where he completed only 18/34 passes with 1 TD and 2 INTs, resulting in the offense scoring just 10 points. The controversy exploded on social media, with the hashtag #RavensFlock divided. Many fans support Huntley: "Rush has proven he's not the solution. Huntley knows the system, knows how to win games – put him in!" (from account @RavensFanatic on X). Meanwhile, others defend Rush, arguing he needs time to adapt after transferring from the Dallas Cowboys: "Rush just started his first game for us. Don't rush to conclusions – he has playoff experience!" However, Rush's performance (only 189 passing yards, no big plays) has raised concerns about the depth chart, especially with Jackson possibly out for another 1-2 weeks. Head coach John Harbaugh hasn't commented directly, but in the post-Texans press conference, he hinted at a reevaluation: "We have multiple quality options at QB. Tyler is ready, and we'll choose the one best suited to win." ESPN insiders report that Huntley has been practicing fully and performing well, potentially being promoted to official QB2 if Jackson misses the Rams game – a crucial matchup for the Ravens (currently 1-4) to salvage their season. Signing Huntley – a Pro Bowl star – is seen as a smart move amid the controversies, boosting the Ravens' depth and flexibility. If Huntley gets "the nod" to start, it could be his chance to prove his value, just like his previous fill-ins for Jackson. Ravens fans are awaiting the decision – will "Snoop" (Huntley's nickname) return to save the team? Follow updates from baltimoreravens.com for more details. #RavensFlock #QBControversy
