This will be the End Game

Chiefs v. Niners: February 11th, 2024

Is it chance that both teams playing in the 2024 Big Game in Vegas are the color: RED? To coincide with the one album by Taylor that is named a color, none other than RED. The Big Game goes down on February 11th, 2024, and you can bet that screens everywhere will air the field. Whether you’re a tried and true football fan or you're here for the Taylor-Travis love story, is there really a bad reason to tune in?!

All in all, we really hope there's no Bad Blood between the Niners and Chiefs after February 11th. Though as far as the 2023-2024 NFL season goes, it turns out that this one is the End Game. Call It What You Want, the game of football may in fact be more emotionally Treacherous than long-time fans care to admit.
