Bailey Zappe, the backup quarterback for the New England Patriots, gained some attraction after the win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He outplayed Mitch Trubisky in the game with 240 yards of passing with three touchdowns. In addition, the QB also completed 19 of his 28 passes. He was also intercepted once in the game.

With the performance against the Steelers, Bailey Zappe has earned some backing for his name. The Patriots have suffered a lot due to the quarterback’s failure this season.

Their first-choice QB Mac Jones had an awful season, compelling the head coach Bill Belichick to replace him with Zappe. As a starter, Zappe had some bad games. But the game against the Steelers was a hint that he could have a perfect comeback in the coming time.

With the winning mode, the Patriots will face the Kansas City Chiefs in the coming game. They would love to continue with a winning streak.

On the other hand, the Chiefs have found a new fan this season. She is none other than Taylor Swift. The pop-singer is in love with the Chiefs TE Travis Kelce and might grace the upcoming game against the Pats with her presence. Regarding this, Zappe was asked whether he is a Taylor Swift fan. The QB had a straightforward answer. He said that he does not belong to the ‘Swifties club’. 

No, ma'am ... I'm not like not a fan. I just don't listen to that music. I'm a country guy. So, I mean, that's probably why since she transferred over to pop, I mean, I know some of her old songs when she was country, but I mean, I don't dislike her.

The NFL is riding on Taylor Swift’s presence

Since the news of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift dating came to the limelight, the pop singer has been a regular attendee of the Kansas City Chiefs games. She was spotted multiple times jumping, laughing, and celebrating the success of the Chiefs along with her ‘boyfriend’ Travis Kelce.

The NFL also did not leave any stone unturned to promote Swift as an iconic figure enjoying the league. They even put her photo on the cover from their official X handle.

The efforts from the NFL received mixed reactions from a section of people. It was Travis Kelce who expressed his disgust over the over-enthusiasm of the league authority.
