The Minnesota Vikings‘ quarterback, Kirk Cousins, had a lot of time on his hands during the second half of the season to follow the Taylor Swift–Travis Kelce romance. 

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end and the Eras Tour singer started dating back in September last year and since then have taken the world by storm. Cousins suffered an Achilles injury back in week 8 and was ruled out for the season because of it.

During his time on the sidelines, Cousins got time to evaluate Swift’s contribution to revising the NFL’s popularity. He believes that all the Taylor Swift coverage this season will only benefit the league’s popularity.

The ‘Love Story’ singer has been a staple during the Chiefs games this season, and that has created a lot of engagement for the NFL on various social media platforms.

I keep seeing clips of her high-fiving people, so I think it’s been a positive. It’s certainly been a positive for the league. I think there [have] been a lot of new football fans that five months ago probably weren’t following pro football, but now they are. I think that’s a win for everybody involved and hopefully, she’s around the game for a long time.
Cousins said in a recent interview with Us Weekly

On Sunday, the Chiefs take on the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round. Taylor Swift is anticipated to support her boyfriend’s team at the game. She attended the Chiefs’ Wild Card victory over the Miami Dolphins last Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium.

Kirk Cousins explains why Bill Belichick is a great head coach

Bill Belichick ended his 24-year tenure with the New England Patriots after the conclusion of the regular season. He was under a lot of pressure after yet another disappointing season.

Belichick, who won six Super Bowls with the Patriots, finished the 2023 season with a record of 4-13. However, there are still a lot of players who would love to play for the legendary head coach.

The Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback, Kirk Cousins, recently revealed that he would love to play for Belichick and explained what made him such a “great coach.”

I'm not going to turn down an opportunity to play with a future Hall of Fame coach, but we'll have to see where March leads.
Cousins told CBS Sports.
Great respect for him as a coach, like everyone else in pro football... You always know when you play him that you are kind of looking over your shoulder wondering if what you are seeing is correct because you know he is usually going to break the mold and do something different, and that's probably what has made him a great coach.
Continuing further, he added

Cousins tore his Achilles in Week 8 against the Green Bay Packers. The four-time Pro Bowler may very well rejoin the Vikings, but a lot can happen in the coming weeks that could change the team he plays for in the coming season.
