Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs have arrived in snowy Buffalo ahead of the game that will determine whether they move on to another season tomorrow or end their season.
The team touched down in frigid New York City just before 4 p.m. with Kelce, 34, standing out against the wintry sky in a mustard yellow suit, striped shirt, hat and sunglasses.
Unsmiling and with his jaw tense, Kelce wore air pods as he stepped off the plane. He put his hand on his head and straightened his collar as he stepped out into the freezing afternoon.
And if he was looking particularly sharp, perhaps it was no wonder, because shortly before Kelce and his team boarded their flight in Kansas, Missouri, he learned that police had arrested an alleged stalker who tried to break into the apartment from girlfriend Taylor Swift in Manhattan.
The man the NYPD referred to as “David” was taken into custody around 1 p.m. after being picked up by police on the streets of Tribeca following a failed attempt to enter 34-year-old Swift’s building.

Arriving in Buffalo, no doubt willing to shake off his natural concerns and focus on Sunday’s game, Kelce followed quarterback Patrick Mahomes – dapper in a chocolate pinstripe suit, pocket square and gray tie – to where six coaches waited to take them to to a hotel in Buffalo.
Once there, a small group of Chief’s fans cheered their arrival, while a group of Bills fans made their own feelings perfectly clear with chants of, “Go home!”
Swift is expected to be at Buffalo’s Highmark Stadium tomorrow to attend the AFC divisional playoff game where the Chiefs will face the Bills and, for the first time, she is expected to meet the brother of her NFL stud, Jason.
The elder Kelce has been the focus of NFL headlines this week, with intense speculation that he could withdraw from the game after his Philadelphia Eagles team lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night.
He apparently told the Eagles’ locker room that he would be retiring, but has not made a formal announcement yet. But in the meantime, with the weekend off, Jason and his wife are cheering on Travis and the Chiefs.
