Yes, the Kansas City Chiefs have won Super Bowl LVIII but instead of blaming Taylor Swift, NFL fans should look at the stats.

The Chiefs’ defense allowed an average of 4.4 points per game in the 4th quarter of their Super Bowl run. San Franciso 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy completed only 60% of his passes last night.
Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo has a knack for baiting opponents into passing the ball by showing blitz. Spagnuolo knew his defensive backs could guard well in man coverage but 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan found that out the hard way.

Still, Purdy connected on just 23 of his 38 pass attempts and when it mattered most, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes made heroic plays.
Only Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has shown NFL fans he can dethrone the Chiefs in the playoffs. The San Francisco 49ers, Baltimore Ravens, and Buffalo Bills all failed to halt what has now become the NFL powerhouse.
Lastly, Mahomes and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had been winning before Swift started making cameo appearances on the jumbotron. The Chiefs defense forced a jumbo seven total turnovers in the playoffs. Another concerted effort is the reason the Chiefs are yet again, Super Bowl Champions.
