Buffalo Bills

Taylor Swift no es eclipsada muy a menudo, pero el hermano de Travis Kelce, Jason, puede haber hecho precisamente eso en el partido del domingo, donde se mostró sin camiseta y listo para celebrar.

El centro de las Águilas -cuya temporada ha terminado después de que su equipo perdió en los playoffs la semana pasada- estaba pasando el rato con T-Swift y un montón de otros amigos y familia en una suite privada en el Highmark Stadium cuado Travis y los Chiefs se enfrentaron a los Bills de Buffalo en un gran juego.

Se podía decir que Jason estaba listo para la fiesta desde el primer momento, porque muy rápidamente perdió su camiseta y estuvo a pecho descubierto durante gran parte del juego, aplastando cervezas y rugiendo.

Por supuesto, Tay-Tay también estuvo a su lado, gritando como loca, mientras bebía con Brittany Mahomes y otras amigas, como Cara Delevingne. Por lo que se ve en las fotos de su celebración, se lo estaban pasando muy bien allí.

Ahora, en un momento en que las cosas se calmaron, algunos fans llamaron la atención de Jason -al parecer eran jóvenes swifties que querían saludar a su ídola- Jason vio esto, bajó hacia ellas (de nuevo, sin camisa) y accedió a su petición.

Cogió a las dos chicas y las llevó a la ventana, donde pudieron saludar a Taylor y a todos los que estaban dentro... Jason se limitó a hacer el papel tipo simpático que facilitó todo.

Fue un momento bastante dulce, debemos decir que el chico es bastante relajado, y así son sus padres.

Taylor, Travis y todos los demás se fueron juntos después del partido, los detalles son un poco confusos acerca de dónde fueron a celebrar, pero hay una foto dando vueltas que muestra Trav y compañía posando en una foto grupal.

Taylor Swift doesn't get upstaged very often -- but Travis Kelce's brother, Jason, may have done just that at Sunday's game ... where the dude was shirtless and ready to rage.

The Eagles center -- whose season is over after his team lost in the playoffs last week -- was hanging out with T-Swift and a bunch of other friends/family in a private suite at Highmark Stadium as Travis and the Chiefs took on the Buffalo Bills in a huge game.

You could tell JK was ready to party from the get-go, because pretty quickly ... he lost his shirt, and was going bare-chested through much of the game, crushing beers and roaring.

Of course, Tay-Tay was there next to him too ... screaming her head off, all while knocking back drinks with Brittany Mahomes and other gal pals in tow, like Cara Delevingne. From the looks of the photos of their celebration, they were having a damn good time in there.

Now, at one point when things settled down, some fans caught Jason's attention right below their box -- namely, young girls who apparently had some Swiftie signage they wanted to show off. Jason saw this, climbed down to them (again, shirtless) and obliged their request.

He picked both girls up and took 'em to the window, where they were able to wave hi to Taylor and everyone else inside ... and Jason was just playing everyone's cool uncle.

Pretty sweet moment, we must say ... the guy's totally comfortable, and so are the parents.

As for what Taylor, Travis and everyone else got up to after the game -- where everybody was riding high off of a nail-biting win -- there's a photo going around showing Trav and co. posing for a group pic.

Patrick Mahomes was forced to make a speedy exit from Highmark Stadium on Sunday night ... this after angry Bills fans continuously chucked snowballs at his head.

The Kansas City star was trying to celebrate the Chiefs' 27-24 divisional round win in Buffalo ... but when he got close to the crowd, Bills Mafia made him run for cover.

Video from the game's broadcast showed the flying objects came so often, Mahomes actually had to jet from the area while defending his head with his hand.

When he eventually got near a stadium tunnel to get into his locker room, he had to evade a few more snowballs too.

Fortunately for the quarterback, it didn't seem any tagged him too hard -- and he didn't seem too annoyed by the situation either, wearing a big smile nearly the entire time.

But, one of his teammates, Drue Tranquill, certainly appeared to be more than bothered by the matter.

The KC linebacker wrote on his X page that he almost threw a snowball of his own at a fan who heaved one his way ... before he fired off a jab at Buffalo's diehards.

"Truth is," Tranquill said, "my four year old throws a meaner snowball than #BillsMafia."

Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes couldn't calm down as the Kansas City Chiefs punched their ticket to the AFC Championship Game on Sunday ... celebrating throughout the huge win with tons of shouting, drinks and impromptu photoshoots.

The two famous WAGs returned to their usual suite seats for K.C.'s Divisional Round matchup against the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium ... and this time around, they had new company from Travis Kelce's All-Pro brother, Jason, his wife, Kylie, and Swift's gal pal, Cara Delevingne.

Naturally, the A-list box had plenty of booze for the occasion ... and Swift and Mahomes took advantage of that by giving each other a "cheers" before sipping some adult bevvies.

Mahomes documented the experience on her Instagram ... showing the whole group in great spirits as the Chiefs came away with the 27-24 victory -- and Swift was right in the middle of the pack for the shot.

Of course, Swift had a front-row seat for Jason's shirtless antics ... and cameras showed her absolutely stunned as he hopped out of the suite to make his way to the normies' section of the stadium.

The broadcast also cut to Taylor and Brittany after Kelce scored a key touchdown ... with the two hugging it out in celebration -- which was met with mixed reviews (after all, haters gonna hate, hate, hate).

Swift might be considered a good-luck charm at this point ... and TK clearly has her on his mind on the field, with many thinking he threw up some heart hands in her direction after one of his TDs.

The Chiefs will now travel to Baltimore to face off against the Ravens on Sunday ... and judging by Swift's warm welcome with Chiefs Kingdom over the course of the season, there's no way she's gonna miss that one, either.

5:52 PM PT -- Travis is clearly appreciative of his better half showing up to support him ... after he scored a TD, he seemed to blow a kiss and toss a "hand heart" up toward the suite where Tay's chilling with the fam.

His brother was freakin' stoked too ... though Jason went with a pretty different kind of celebration -- ripping off his shirt and downing a beer while the boos rained down on him!!!

3:17 PM PT -- So far, so good on the all-important "meeting" of the sibling ... Taylor and Jason look pretty comfortable chatting -- which makes you wonder if they've maybe hung out before.

Taylor Swift's landed in Buffalo and Bills Mafia is giving her a hard time ... but the pop star seems to be taking all the jeering in stride.

TS' beau's playing in chilly upstate New York this afternoon, and her arrival at Highmark Stadium received the requisite amount of fanfare ... lots of pictures, video and a little trash talk from the other team.

One fan screams out "Bills by a billion" and Taylor seemingly blows a smooch back to him in response ... pretty dang cool response for the megastar.

Tay's basically a pro at attending Chiefs games at this point ... she's been hitting them up regularly since September and even braved frigid temperatures to watch her man's first playoff game last week -- and seemed totally enthralled with him after.

And, there's another relationship milestone Taylor's reaching tonight ... a public appearance with Jason Kelce, Travis' brother, who plays for the Philadelphia Eagles and was spotted landing in Buffalo earlier Sunday. She's already been spotted with JK's wife Kylie ... so it shouldn't be too long.

As far as we can tell ... Taylor spent a ton of time with Travis' mom, Donna, and even hung out with his dad, Ed, but she and Jason have never been spotted hanging out publicly -- which doesn't mean they haven't had a covert meeting over the last couple weeks.

Now, Chiefs fans might not be so stoked on Taylor's appearance at the game ... remember, she pulled up for the match back in December where the Bills won by just three points -- and Patrick Mahomes had something of a meltdown after the L.

Of course, Taylor didn't cause that loss by any means ... but sports fans are superstitious -- so you just know she's gonna take a lot of flak if Josh Allen's squad can pull out a win.

The game's kicking off here at 3:30 PM PT ... so grab a seat and blast "Cruel Summer" in honor of the hottest couple around!!!

Bills and Chiefs fans with a blank space in their tummies are in luck this weekend  ... Buffalo's food service partner just revealed it's going to sell some Taylor Swift-themed snacks at the big game Sunday!!

Delaware North -- which has brought tasty treats to Highmark Stadium all season long -- announced this week it's packing two new options for the divisional round playoff game against Kansas City with odes to Swift in them.

One of the meals is called the "Bad Blood waffle fries" ... and it features two feet of fries topped with a grip of Buffalo and Kansas City food staples -- including blue cheese and BBQ pork.

The other option is named the "Karma Quesadilla" ... and it's got chicken tenders, bacon and pork belly all over it.

It's not quite clear if Swift will get the opportunity to enjoy the grub -- it hasn't been confirmed yet if she'll make the trek to Orchard Park to watch her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. But, considering she battled the snow to catch his game last weekend against the Miami Dolphins, it seems like it's a good bet.

A little bit of snow -- okay, a TON of snow -- wasn't gonna stop Bills and Steelers fans from making their way to the stadium for Monday's Wild Card game ... with diehard supporters trudging to their seats in time for kickoff.

The playoff matchup was originally slated to go down on Sunday ... but Mother Nature had other plans, as a snowstorm forced the N.Y. governor and NFL commish Roger Goodell to push it back a day.

The Bills pulled out all the stops in hopes of getting Highmark Stadium ready in time for the contest ... even offering folks $20 an hour to help clear out the snow.

Despite the efforts, there was plenty left over from the storm ... but judging by videos of spectators walking through knee-deep piles in order to get to their seats, they didn't care one bit.

In fact, when Buffalo tight end Dawson Knox caught the first touchdown of the game, Bills Mafia made use of the extra snow by throwing it up in the air to celebrate.

All things considered, the field looks damn good for the game ... with not one snowflake in sight.

The NFL is shining a light on Damar Hamlin's recent charitable efforts -- the Buffalo Bills safety was just selected as the Community MVP for Week 18 after giving back to his hometown during the holidays.

Hamlin received the honor for his 4th annual toy drive that went down last month ... where he distributed more than 2,000 toys, hundreds of books, and 50 bikes to hundreds of kids in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania.

Hamlin has been helping out those in his area since before his NFL days, but this one was extra special -- it was the first toy drive since he suffered cardiac arrest against the Bengals on Jan. 2, 2023.

Hamlin said one of his first memories waking up after the incident was seeing the $9 million raised for his fundraiser. With the exceeded amount, Hamlin did his own personal Santa Claus impression, donning the big man's classic red suit and spreading some holiday cheer.

In a year that began with turbulence, this was one of the brightest moments for Damar ... which he explained when speaking about the drive.

"I just couldn’t wait for this," Hamlin said. "I've received so much love, so many blessings. I just couldn’t wait to pay them all forward."

The full $9 million raised after Hamlin's medical emergency won't just help his toy drive -- he said it will also go toward improving his community through CPR education, sporting events in the summer, and turkey drives.

Damar Hamlin is commemorating the one-year anniversary of his terrifying cardiac arrest with some new ink ... getting a pair of heart hands tattooed on the back of his neck.

The Buffalo Bills safety hit up Alexander Brenes twelve months after he nearly died on a football field to get the piece done ... and as you can see, it came out awesome.

In addition to the hands, the dark, black tattoo also features an image of an electrocardiogram -- a clear homage to the health scare he suffered while playing against the Bengals on Jan. 2, 2023.

The 25-year-old -- who often threw up the heart hands during his recovery process -- was obviously thrilled with the final product ... he posed for a pic with the tattoo artist and even left a comment on Brenes' Instagram page as well.

Damar Hamlin está conmemorando el primer aniversario de su aterrador paro cardíaco con algo de tinta.

El safety de los Buffalo Bills acudió a Alexander Brenes doce meses después de casi morir en un campo de fútbol para hacerse un tatuaje y como puedes ver, le ha quedado impresionante.

Además de las manos, el tatuaje oscuro y negro también cuenta con una imagen de un electrocardiograma, un claro homenaje al susto de salud que sufrió mientras jugaba contra los Bengals el 2 de enero de 2023.

El jugador de 25 años quedó encantado con el producto final, posó para una foto con el artista del tatuaje e incluso dejó un comentario en la página de Instagram de Brenes.

Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen still appear to be a thing ... 'cause the actress was spotted jetting from L.A. to Buffalo on Saturday just minutes after the QB beat the Chargers at SoFi Stadium.

It's unclear if the "Starving" singer -- who wore a black hoodie and a mask during her airport travels -- was in attendance for Allen's win over the Bolts while in the City of Angels, but given the time, date and place of her flight to New York ... it seems likely.

Of course, that would appear to mean she and Allen are still very much dating -- this after they were first seen together in the spring.

You'll recall, the two had a bit of a romantic dinner date in May that was captured on camera -- and a few weeks later, they were seen packing on the PDA while vacationing in Mexico.

The couple has somehow avoided much of the public eye since -- though her flight over the weekend sure appears to indicate they're still going strong.

Allen was previously in a long-term relationship with Brittany Williams ... but they broke up following his 2022 season. Steinfeld, meanwhile, had dated Niall Horan in the past, though they split in 2018.

Josh Allen isn't holding a grudge against Patrick Mahomes for blowing up during their postgame exchange on Sunday ... telling reporters he didn't take anything personally, and understood where he was coming from.

The Chiefs superstar went viral for losing his cool over the controversial Kadarius Toney penalty that derailed Kansas City's comeback hopes against the Buffalo Bills ... and when he met with Allen after the 20-17 loss, he didn't seem to display the best sportsmanship.

Allen was asked about the interaction with media members at the Bills' practice on Wednesday ... and he said Mahomes hit him up to make sure they were good.

"He reached out to me," Allen said. "And I was just like, 'It's football, it's a game of emotion.'"

In the clip, Mahomes is heard yelling, "Wildest f***ing call I've ever seen. Offensive offsides in that moment, man ... f***ing terrible."

Allen actually defended Mahomes ... saying the outburst just shows how much the game of football means to him.

"I know he didn't mean anything by it," he added. "I know the cameras caught the last few seconds of what we were talking about. But, he's an ultimate competitor. He wants to win, and that's why he is who he is."

Chad Johnson's been in a similar spot to the one Kadarius Toney is currently in ... and he's telling TMZ Sports he's got one big piece of advice for the Chiefs star to get out of it all -- ignore the haters.

"F 'em," he said.

Johnson sent the message loud and clear on Tuesday -- after Toney received a ton of criticism for lining up offsides on what would have been the potential game-winning play against the Bills at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday.

"As a former player, I've also been in the situations before where I've made mistakes and those mistakes have cost the game," the ex-Bengals wide receiver said. "It's happened to me. It happened to me early in my career."

Johnson said the moment he remembers specifically went down during a game against the Colts -- when he dropped a key pass that could've led to a Cincinnati W.

"You know, you go back to the drawing board," Johnson said of how he fixed it all, "you bust your ass this week in practice, and you make sure you make up for that play. And, I think [Toney] will do that."

Johnson said Toney should learn a lot about the play moving forward -- telling us the young wideout will now know to make sure to keep his eye contact with officials long enough to ensure he's always onside.

"It's a mistake that Kadarius can fix," Johnson said. "And, I think he'll be OK."

The woman who accused Matt Araiza of sexual assault has agreed to drop her lawsuit against the NFL player ... this according to the former Buffalo Bills punter's attorneys.

In a statement released Tuesday afternoon, Araiza's lawyers, Dick Semerdjian and Kristen Bush, said their client and his accuser have reached an agreement that will require the woman "to dismiss her complaint against him in the next week."

"Matt is not paying the plaintiff any money," the two attorneys said ... adding, "and he is reserving his right to pursue the plaintiff's attorney, Dan Gilleon, and his law office for the harm that they have caused him."

The woman initially filed her suit back in August 2022 ... claiming that when she was 17 years old, Araiza and two of his San Diego State football teammates raped her while she was attending a 2021 Halloween party at the punter's Southern California home.

Araiza adamantly denied the allegations at the time -- and in December 2022, prosecutors announced they would not be filing criminal charges against the football player, saying, "There is no path to a potential criminal conviction."

Araiza's attorneys said Tuesday the agreement that he and his accuser reached was "bittersweet."

"Matt has been forced to defend himself for the last sixteen months against false accusations and a campaign to ruin his career in the NFL," the attorneys said. "He will never get this time in his life back."

Araiza was picked by the Bills in the 6th round of the 2022 draft ... though he was cut by the team shortly after the woman filed her lawsuit against him.

If Chiefs fans are looking to blame anyone for the offensive offsides penalty that foiled their comeback attempt Sunday, it should be the Philadelphia Eagles ... so says Dean Blandino, who tells TMZ Sports their "Tush Push" play might have actually impacted the call during the Bills game.

The former NFL Vice President of Officiating said he believes refs are calling line of scrimmage fouls much more closely this year due to the nature of the Birds' "Brotherly Shove" play -- and that's leading to more calls like the one against Kadarius Toney at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday evening.

"You think about 2015 to 2022," Blandino said, "there were only 14 offensive offsides called in the entire league. This year already, with the Toney call, there's 13. So, it's definitely a point of emphasis this year."

That all being said, however, Blandino made it clear the flag against Toney was the right call.

"This was clearly a foul," he said. "The officials have to call it."

Of course, Patrick Mahomes vehemently disagreed -- he absolutely melted down after the flag was thrown ... calling it "f***ing terrible," while later explaining he wished the refs had just let it go.

Blandino said as a fan of the game, he understands the sentiment -- though he said that if refs call things differently based on the game's situation, it could have even more drastic implications.

"You say, 'Let the players decide the game,'" Blandino said. "The problem with that is you tell the officials that and then the officials say, 'K, we're not going to call anything in the last two minutes.'"

"The players, the coaches will understand that and say, 'Hey, we're going to get away with -- we're going to play more aggressive, we're going to push the envelope.' And then the game, it's going to be decided unfairly for a different reason."

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid says Kadarius Toney was offsides by an inch or two when he was penalized during Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills ... telling reporters his receiver failed to check with officials prior to the snap, but was hoping they would have given him a heads up.

Reid was livid following the 20-17 loss to the Bills ... saying he felt the officiating crew should have tipped Toney off before the play, calling it "embarrassing" the game ended in that fashion.

Big Red addressed the controversial call again with the media on Monday ... when he explained his frustrations came from a lack of communication with the officials, which he's grown to expect over his decades in the NFL.

Regardless, he was not using the controversial call as an excuse for how the game played out.

"I've been doing this a long time," Reid said. "This isn't an excuse. It's a working relationship. That part is so important in this thing. You see it on both sides. You give the head coach a heads-up. That's what I was really trying to get across."

Reid said he reviewed the game tape and admitted Toney was past the line of scrimmage ... and he will make sure the receiver checks with officials moving forward.
