The Kansas City Chiefs are starting to understand the feeling of losing all too well.
Chiefs stars Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes had on disappointed faces after Monday’s 20—17 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, and so did their significant others.
Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes were seen sharing a moment together as Kansas City suffered arguably its ugliest loss this season. The pop star, who proudly flaunted a Santa hat with a red embroidered No. 87 on it, consoled a shocked Brittany Mahomes and wrapped an arm around her while looking into the distance.

Minnesota Vikings outside linebacker D.J. Wonnum has a partially torn quad and will likely need surgery but is seeking a second opinion.

Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco left Monday’s game against the Raiders after suffering a concussion in the second half.

Everybody has one of those days. The Kansas City Chiefs’ day just happened to be on Christmas against a fiercely hated division rival. 
In Week 16’s festive matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, the Chiefs’ offense has been anything but merry.
Patrick Mahomes and his ragtag team of wideouts generated negative yardage in the first quarter and struggled to find their groove through the second half of the game. Not to mention the offense had two critical turnovers in the second quarter that led to a pair of Raiders’ defensive touchdowns.

Las Vegas, a double-digit underdog, quickly turned a second-quarter deficit into a double-digit lead and went on to shock Kansas City, which failed to clinch the AFC West title.

The Phoenix Suns have disappointed to start the NBA season, currently sitting at 14–14 and not even in a playoff spot. That is all despite Kevin Durant’s strong season, as the 35-year-old is averaging 30.9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 5.4 assists in 24 games.
A big reason for the struggles is injuries, since Bradley Beal has only played in six games while Devin Booker has missed nine games himself, which is especially detrimental considering the Suns’ lack of depth.

Week 16 of the NFL season is underway, and here is how it has changed the playoff picture
Merry Christmas NFL fans!
And Merry Christmas to you reading from the Detroit area.
The Detroit Lions locked down their first division title since 1993, thanks to their win over the Minnesota Vikings. Thanks to results around the rest of the conference, the Lions are now sitting second in the NFC.
Over in the AFC, the Miami Dolphins clinched a playoff spot of their own, with a field goal on the final play of the game to beat the Dallas Cowboys.

All the Kansas City Chiefs want for Christmas is for their wide receivers to learn to line up onside. Unfortunately for them, that gift wasn’t under the tree this morning.
Less than 5 minutes into the first quarter of their game against the Las Vegas Raiders, Marquez Valdes-Scantling lined up beyond the line of scrimmage.
Kadarius Toney committed a similar mistake two weeks ago against the Buffalo Bills. This wide receiver’s mistake wiped out a Travis Kelce lateral (to Toney) that went for a touchdown. The Chiefs ended up losing that game 20-17.

Florida State received another dose of bad news before its Orange Bowl matchup with Georgia on Saturday.
Quarterback Tate Rodemaker has informed Florida State coaches that he intends to enter the NCAA transfer portal and will forgo the Orange Bowl, according to Matt Zenitz of 247 Sports. 
That means FSU is expected to start freshman Brock Glenn for the clash between the No. 5 Seminoles and No. 6 Bulldogs.

You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch Jack Jones.
The Las Vegas Raiders cornerback ruined some little kid’s Christmas by offering him a football — then promptly snatching the gift away from him before he could grab it.
It happened in the second quarter of Monday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes tossed a sideline pass intended for wide receiver Justin Watson. But Jones got the jump on him and ran it back for a pick 6 — his second in consecutive weeks.
But after running through the end zone, the second-year player pulled the ultimate Grinch move.
