Two NFL power couples collided Sunday night, as Simone Biles’ husband Jonathan Owens escaped punishment for an apparent push on Travis Kelce during the final play of Kansas City’s loss to the Green Bay Packers — as Taylor Swift watched from the stand.
With time running out and the Chiefs trailing 27-19, quarterback Patrick Mahomes dropped back to wave a Hail Mary toward the end zone.
Kelce was one of his intended targets, but the Chief tight end appeared to be on the receiving end of a two-handed shove in the back from Packers safety Owens.
Just moments later, Kelce also appeared to be pulled down by his arm by Packers linebacker De’Vondre Campbell.
But no flag was thrown for either incident as the ball was downed, securing Green Bay’s victory.

Some fans in Green Bay held up signs to show they were there to support Biles instead of Swift
Both Owens and Kelce had their superstar partners in attendance – Swift watched the match with Brittany Mahomes, while gymnast Biles focused on Owens and the Packers.
Fans in Green Bay had fun at the expense of the dueling power couples, with some holding up signs to say they were there to see Biles and not Swift.
After the match ended, broadcasters debated whether there should have been a contact flag on the play. But it’s not uncommon for pass interference calls to be avoided on a Hail Mary.
Kelce finished the game as the Chiefs’ leader in yards after hauling in four passes for 81 yards.

This was Swift’s fifth time in the stands and the first time she saw a loss
The eight-time Pro Bowl TE didn’t lead the team in receptions, however — that honor belonged to Chiefs rookie WR Rashee Rice, who finished the game with eight catches for 64 yards.
Owens, on the other hand, finished the night tied for third in tackles for the Packers after recording five during the game.
The non-call involving Owens and Kelce wasn’t the only referee decision questioned by the Chiefs and their fans.
A few minutes earlier, the team called for a pass interference call earlier in the drive after a long incompletion against WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling.
