There will be no shortage of storylines when the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins square off to kick off the NFL’s Sunday schedule for Week 9.
Perhaps none are bigger than this burning question: Will Taylor Swift will be in Frankfurt, Germany to watch Travis Kelce?
Of course there is also the possibility that this is an AFC championship game preview with the Chiefs and Dolphins both enter this clash with 6-2 records, tied with the Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars for best mark in the conference.
