Travis Kelce Made a Surprise Appearance Before Chiefs-Ravens
The Kansas City Chiefs were in top form on Sunday, September 28, and pulled off a definitive win over the Baltimore Ravens, 37-20. For a game that was supposed to be close, the Chiefs left no question as to who was on top on Sunday, even though it did come with an unfortunate injury for Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was on the field, of course, and his soon-to-be-wife Taylor Swift was apparently in the stands, although she kept a very low profile. Kelce had a solid game, too, with coach Andy Reid even giving him props after the game, saying, “I thought he played well in both the run and the pass game.” Reid added that he thought Kelce “looked strong all the way through. He’s in great shape right now. That’s the important part. He came back and trained hard and aggressive for this thing.”
But, what’s interesting is that just a few days earlier, Kelce made a special appearance at an event that’s special to him.
Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce Makes Appearance at Special Event
Kelce’s annual Kelce Car Jam auto show took place Friday, September 26, at Knuckleheads in Kansas City. Ahead of the appearance, he talked it up on his New Heights podcast with his brother, Jason.
“The Kelce Car Jam is back, baby. It’s this Friday,” Kelce said. “I’m going to break out some new old schools that I got. We got a 1990 Jeep Wrangler with the wood grain on the side.”
He added, “We’ll have an amazing block-party style event that showcases some of the city’s top automobiles, including some of my personal (ones). There will be food, there will be drinks, there will be games and a whole lot of fun for everyone. There’s only a few tickets left, so get yours now. Proceeds benefit Eighty-Seven and Running, my foundation that helps out underserved youth in both the Kansas City area and back home in… the Cleveland surrounding area, two cities that I absolutely love. So, please show up. It’s going to be a blast.”
So, it worked, and the place was packed on Friday. In a new video that has surfaced, Kelce thanked the audience for their support and how it benefits his Eighty-Seven and Running foundation, which benefits kids in Kansas City and Cleveland, where Kelce was raised.
Travis Kelce’s Mom Shows Up to Support Her Son
Kelce’s mom was there, too. At the event, he said, “I appreciate the support you guys bring. The stuff that they are doing over there at the Ignition Lab and Operation Breakthrough never (ceases) to amaze me more and more every single year. Oh … hey mom … it’s always fun when you’re just talking in a crowd and you see your mom back there.”
TikTok user Natalie Dutton posted a video of the special exchange, too. So, those at the event were treated to an appearance by not only Kelce but him mom, which is extra sweet.
It’s great to see Kelce giving back, even just a few days before a big game. It didn’t hurt his performance on Sunday, to boot.
Raiders Star Maxx Crosby Calls Out Geno Smith After Bears Loss in Brutal Rant
Maxx Crosby Explodes: “Geno Smith Disappeared When We Needed Him Most!”
The Las Vegas Raiders didn’t just lose a heartbreaking 25-24 game to the Chicago Bears on Sunday — they also walked into a firestorm inside their own locker room. And the spark came from none other than star defensive end Maxx Crosby, who unleashed a blistering tirade directed at quarterback Geno Smith.
Crosby, the emotional heartbeat of the Raiders’ defense, didn’t waste time sugarcoating. “This is the NFL. You either show up in the big moments, or you disappear. And right now, we’re disappearing. I’m sick of watching our offense collapse when it matters the most,”
When asked if his words were aimed squarely at Smith, Crosby didn’t hesitate. “Geno’s a veteran. He knows the weight of this job. But too many times today, when we needed him to be sharp, he froze. You can’t throw the ball away on third-and-long with the game on the line. You can’t take sacks when receivers are open. That’s not leadership — that’s hesitation.”
The comments hit like a bomb. With the Raiders stumbling to a 1-3 start, Crosby’s frustration echoed what many fans have already been shouting. He doubled down with even more venom:
While Crosby shined once again on defense, recording multiple game-changing plays, the offense faltered under Smith’s shaky command. The tension now threatens to spill into the Raiders’ season: will Geno respond to the public call-out, or will the cracks only deepen?
One thing is certain — Crosby has drawn a line in the sand. The Raiders no longer have space for excuses. Only results will decide whether this team sinks or survives.
