CELEBRATING — Apparently, karma is still the guy on the Chiefs.

During the second quarter of Cincinnati's Week 2 game against the Kansas City Chiefs, Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas found the blank space and caught a toe-dragging 4-yard touchdown pass from Joe Burrow that broke a 3-3 tie — the first of two short touchdowns on the day that propelled the Bengals to lead KC by as much as 22-17.

But you know how this game turned out.

Patrick Mahomes rallied the Chiefs to beat the Bengals 26-25 on a walk-off 51-yard field goal as time expired by Harrison Butker as Kansas City opened the 2024 campaign 2-0 and dropped Cincinnati to 0-2.

But let's get to the important part: karma.

After his first touchdown, Iosivas hit a celebration that seemed instantly familiar to fans of Taylor Swift, the global pop star who has been dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce for over a year and watched Sunday's game from a suite.

After Burrow hit Iosivas for the 4-yard score and a pair of officials confirmed the score after a brief conference, the second-year rookie out of Princeton reached back to draw an imaginary bow string and mimicked firing an arrow into the crowd.

Iosivas was ready for combat, but the celebration may have felt so high school — or at least, it did for fans of Swift, who immediately recognized the gesture from one of the global icon's Eras Tour concerts.

Kelce even repeated the gesture at Swift during one of his concert visits, a nod to her hit "The Archer" from her "Lover" album.

Was the Chiefs' rally a product of some questionable play-calling by the Bengals, a manic comeback by Mahomes and Co. — or simply another example of "Tayvoodoo," which Swifties also attributed a Chiefs wins last year over Buffalo and Baltimore after those fan bases ribbed the 14-time Grammy winner leading up to their games?

You already know what Swift Nation thinks, and the rest of the NFL is on notice.

As for the Archer touchdown celebration: If there's any chance that "Tayvoodoo" is a real thing, it may be time to eliminate the move.

That's right; just shake it off.

Yesterday's Have You Seen This?

Too good for a drone delivery

I keep hearing about Amazon drone deliveries. I've never seen one in person, but they sound like a bad idea. Drones are whiny, skittish little things that sometimes collide with trees, telephone lines and other objects.
