Travis experienced a tragic injury in the second quarter when he slipped on the U.S. Bank Stadium turf and was forced to sit out for the rest of that quarter. He showed great determination by returning to the field after halftime with his injured foot taped up.

His commitment to the game paid off, as he made an immense contribution to his team when they needed it the most. In the closing moments of the game, Travis was seen playing on the defensive end.

As the Vikings attempted a Hail Mary pass in a last-ditch effort to potentially tie the game, Travis positioned himself in the secondary to deflect the pass. However, the play became pointless as Mike Danna sacked Kirk Cousins, effectively sealing the victory for the Chiefs.

Patrick Mahomes had an impressive outing, completing 31 of his 41 pass attempts for 281 yards and delivering two touchdown passes. Receiver Rashee Rice contributed with four receptions for 33 yards, including a touchdown grab, while Justin Watson made two critical catches for a total of 56 yards.

The Vikings managed to keep the game close in the early stages, with the score tied at 13-13. However, they allowed the Chiefs to pull ahead with two touchdowns in the third quarter.

Kirk Cousins, on the other hand, completed 29 of his 47 pass attempts for 284 yards, connecting on two touchdown passes. Jordan Addison played a key role with six receptions for 64 yards, and Alexander Mattison contributed with a touchdown catch, finishing the game with two receptions for 20 yards.

Over the past two weeks, the broadcast cameras turned their attention to the luxury suites in the stadiums where the Chiefs were playing.

Notably, Taylor Swift made appearances at Arrowhead Stadium and MetLife Stadium in support of her rumored boyfriend, Travis, during those games, both of which the Chiefs won. However, Taylor was nowhere to be seen at U.S. Bank Stadium on gameday, as the Chiefs managed to secure yet another big victory.
