Legendary Kansas City running back Christian Okoye is urging the Taylor Swift critics to shake off their hate — telling TMZ Sports the pop star is absolutely not the reason for Travis Kelce’s struggles this season.
“She has nothing to do with how the team’s doing right now,” Okoye said emphatically this week.
Of course, there are many who are disagreeing with the Nigerian Nightmare these days … as Kelce’s play has dropped off dramatically from where it had been earlier this season.
He’s only scored one touchdown since Week 8 — and the Chiefs have subsequently lost five of their last eight games.
But Okoye says none of that is Swift’s fault — telling us defenses have simply come up with schemes to neutralize Kelce.
“Taylor Swift is not on the field,” Okoye said. “Travis is playing like he always plays. Teams are just doubling up on him now knowing that our receivers are dropping the balls.”
