Ongoing Investigation
…You can get your mind out of the gutter thinking it was a fan of the Bengals, Bills, or Ravens.
The Kansas City Chiefs are trying to make history this season as they eye a Super Bowl three-peat, and the NFL odds are in their favor of doing so. They are also still undefeated at 9-0 as they head into their biggest road challenge yet in Buffalo. You might think nothing can stop superstars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, but some unsettling NFL news had to give them pause as they work their way through this season.
According to TMZ, the homes of Mahomes and Kelce were burglarized on consecutive days in October. It was around midnight on Sunday, October 6 when Mahomes’ mansion was entered. Then a day later on October 7, Kelce’s home was hit while the Chiefs were hosting the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football.
It is not clear if Mahomes or his family was home that Sunday with the Chiefs set to play the following night. The only thing reported stolen so far is $20,000 from Kelce’s home, which had damage to the back door. The news would also put Kelce’s girlfriend Taylor Swift on high alert as she is no stranger to needing higher security.
Something the Chiefs Won’t Want to See Repeated
Hopefully, this is just a one-time incident. The first good thing to remember is that everyone was safe as these stories can take a tragic turn. It will be 17 years this month when Washington’s All-Pro safety Sean Taylor was tragically shot and killed in a home invasion in 2007. He was just 24 years old.
But the thinking here is that these robberies are part of a crime spree in the area, so you can get your mind out of the gutter thinking it was a fan of the Bengals, Bills, or Ravens. However, if there was a fanbase that would do this to the Chiefs’ stars…
The incident has obviously frustrated the Chiefs QB, who spoke briefly to the media about it Wednesday. He can’t get into details as there is an ongoing investigation with the FBI involved as other homes in the area have been broken into.

Eyes on the Prize
But with this happening in early October, it clearly hasn’t impacted the Chiefs’ stars in NFL games. Kelce has only seen his workload increase after the Chiefs lost No. 1 receiver Rashee Rice for the season. He has a couple of touchdowns and double-digit catch games in the last few weeks.

Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes’ stats on third downs and in the fourth quarter have been absurdly great this season. He led his fourth game-winning drive of 2024 on Sunday against Denver, a game where the Chiefs needed to block a 35-yard field goal to remain undefeated.
The Chiefs are the first team since the 2010-11 Packers to win at least 15 consecutive games. We’ll see if they can get halfway to 20-0 with a victory in Buffalo this week.
