Amid Taylor Swift’s highly-publicized relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce, the league jumped in on the action by posing a picture of the pop icon and her reactions while in a suite cheering for the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.
It was met with backlash.
The league leaned even more into the unlikely relationship between the NFL and Swifties, by including a comment in their Instagram bio about the record of the Chiefs while Swift was in attendance. They deleted that but kept the Swift picture.
The way Josh Dobbs has been playing was enough to displace the NFL’s biggest off-field storyline from the league’s official X account. After Dobb’s heroics, the league switched its header from a collage of Swift photos to Dobbs sipping from a Gatorade cup on the sidelines.
The Minnesota Vikings dealt for quarterback Josh Dobbs when Kirk Cousins went down with an Achilles injury, sending the Arizona Cardinals a sixth—and conditional seventh-round pick in 2024 for the 28-year-old.
On Sunday, Dobbs scored one touchdown rushing, and he passed for another as the Vikings claimed a 27-19 win over the New Orleans Saints. This came one week after he was forced into the game due to an injury as he barely knew the names of his teammates.
It remains to be seen how long the NFL will leave Dobbs at the top of its page, since multiple X users noted that the NFL changed its header to C.J. Stroud for a stretch last week.
