Although the Kansas City Chiefs fell short of pulling off what would have been the first three-peat in Super Bowl history, they are still receiving champion-like treatment ahead of the 2025 season.
With the NFL schedules being revealed on Wednesday, there was also a revelation regarding which matchups were televised. To the surprise of no one, the team featuring the potential best quarterback of all time (Patrick Mahomes), a legendary tight end (Travis Kelce) and the biggest pop star in the world (Taylor Swift), who is dating the aforementioned tight end, had quite a few nationally televised games.
In fact, NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported that the team became the first to have seven primetime games at night on their initial schedule.
While Chiefs fans and Swifties are presumably thrilled with this news, other NFL fans didn't share the same enthusiasm online.
"So obnoxious," commented one user.
"Chiefs Fatigue will be next-level," predicted a fan.
"So the NFL is still glazing," wrote a third.
"Squeezing every last drop of that Taylor Swift Juice out of this team," commented another.
"No wonder they’re the most hated team in the NFL," said one fan.
"Don't get it, they were a boring team to watch last season," chimed in another.

The Chiefs open the season against their AFC West foe, the Los Angeles Chargers in Sao Paulo, Brazil. A couple of other notable games include a Super Bowl rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2, a Thanksgiving battle against the Dallas Cowboys and a Christmas Day showdown against the Denver Broncos.
Although there may be a large population of fans who are tired of seeing the Chiefs, it appears the media companies are loving all of the ratings they bring in.
