The NFL may be in its Taylor Swift era now, but Long Story Short, we've been here since the original lyrics to "Picture to Burn." The girl on the bleachers, meanwhile, is busier than ever, as she attended the Grammys last Sunday, then hit the road again, relaunching her Eras Tour in Tokyo last Wednesday. She grabbed her pa sport and landed in Los Angeles on Saturday to see King of Her Heart Travis Kelce and the Chiefs take on the 49ers in the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 11 (kickoff at 6:30 p.m. ET on CBS, Nickelodeon and Paramount+).To honor the Electric Touch Swift has had on the NFL this season, no matter what the dads, Brads and Chads want to whine about, we've a signed one song from Swift's impre sively deep discography to each of the 32 teams. Sure, everyone would love to be her Love Story but someone has to be the Foolish One. And yes, some of these may be a stretch. Tolerate It.The lyric:The song:The rationale:No one could deny Kyler Murray's talent, but it's hard to see his time in Arizona leading to any sort of notable succe s at this point.The lyric:The Tre Flowers Jersey song:The rationale:It's been almost seven years since "28-3" and no one with any emotional stake in the Falcons has gotten over it. Don't blame them. The lyric:The song:The rationale:It works for both Lamar Jackson's regular season heroics and as a decidedly le s optimistic but also perfect reaction to the Ravens' playoff shortcomings.The lyric:The song: The rationale: With Stefon Diggs' time in Buffalo seemingly ending, it appears they'll once again be in the market for a No. 1 receiver. Still in the market for that first Super Bowl too.The lyric:The song:The rationale:The Panthers chose Bryce Jamal Adams Jersey Young over C.J. Stroud in the draft, and whether anyone in Charlotte will admit it, they must be losing sleep over that pick le s than a year later. The lyric:The song:The rationale:Is it a good idea to bring back the GM, head coach and quarterback responsible for going 10-24 acro s the last two seasons? Hard to say! But for better or worse, the Bears' main characters want to sink or swim together.The lyric:The song:The rationale:Taylor's feature on a song by Cincinnati's favorite sons The National sums up Bengaldom brilliantly -- the promised land is so close ... if they can avoid the landmines.The lyric:The song:The rationale:They've climbed out of decades of constant tragedy to become a respectable NFL franchise with two playoff berths in four seasons under coach Kevin Stefanski, the most recent one with a quarterback who rose from the dead to boot. The lyric:The song:The rationale:Have you ever met a Cowboys fan (or owner) who wasn't obse sed with things that happened in the '90s? Me neither.The lyric:The song:The rationale:They've spent two decades moving mountains trying to recapture the glory of the Elway years. It worked for a brief moment with Peyton Manning. The Sean Payton/Ru sell Wilson experiment, though, has been an abject failure.The lyric:The song:The rationale:Coach Dan Campbell went from America's Sweetheart to America's Scapegoat in the span of two L.J. Collier Jersey quarters of a game. With stellar offensive coordinator Ben Johnson spurning head coaching openings to return to Detroit, it may not be long before Campbell is "nothing new." The lyric:The song:The rationale:After a protracted split from a quarteback who we'd be hard pre sed to describe as endearing, the Packers woke up and found Love.The lyric:The song:The rationale:Every football fan who wasn't already in love with C.J. Stroud fell hard during the Texans' wild card rout of the Browns -- and they didn't even see injured fellow rookie receiver Tank Dell.The lyric:The song:The rationale:It took a lengthy holdout and a whole lot of posturing but in the end, there was only one Burton for this (Jonathan) Taylor. If Anthony Richardson pans out, Jonathan will be thrilled he stayed. The lyric:The song:The rationale:Trevor Lawrence still has the hearts of Jags fans ... for now. The honeymoon period may not last through many more letdowns like 2023, though.The lyric:The song:The rationale:Beyond the extremely obvious Tayvis implication, it's also apropos of the magic between Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce (and the lack of other weapons in the offense).The lyric:The song:The rationale:NFL fans under the age of 40 have never lived in a world where the Raiders were the league's premier franchise, but the oldheads swear it was a thing once. The lyric:The song:The rationale:The Chargers are Jets West -- but for the Bolts it tends to be more calamity than tragedy. It's up to Jim Harbaugh to salvage Justin Herbert's career before it's too late.The lyric:The song:The rationale:The chatter about Sean McVay walking away has died down since last offseason, but the questions remain about what direction to take a roster caught between a recent Super Bowl win and a need to get younger.The lyric:The song:The rationale:The 2023 Dolphins in a nutshell -- from Super Bowl favorites in September to a Week 18 collapse against the Bills and a Wild Card exit. Maybe it's coach Mike McDaniel in a nutshell too? The lyric:The song:The rationale:Remember just over a year ago when the Vikings had a home playoff game and eyes on the Super Bowl? Long story Seattle Seahawks Kids Jersey short, the outlook in the Twin Cities has gotten a bit bleaker since then.The lyric:The song:The rationale:In lieu of explaining that which needs no explanation, here's a fun fact: this song was written about a house in New England.The lyric:The song:The rationale:The most exciting part of the Saints' 2023 season may well have been rookie quarterback Jake Haener's arrival ... in the preseason. This is a team desperate for an identity in the post-Brees/Payton era. The lyric:The song:The rationale:Every now and then, Big Blue comes along and steals the city's attention from the Bronx Bombers. They're pretty forgettable the rest of the time.The lyric:The song:The rationale:It's always something for the poor, downtrodden Jets. Here's hoping the next chapter lasts longer than four snaps, but it'll probably end in tragedy.The lyric:The song:The rationale:That 10-1 record felt a whole lot like flying. We all know what happened next. The lyric:The song:The rationale:If you've followed this team for the last couple decades you should get this one -- and if you're a Steelers player looking for a new contract, you should be willing to get it from a different team.The lyric:The song:The rationale:Brock Purdy was saddled with the "Mr. Irrelevant" moniker that goes annually to the final pick of the NFL Draft, but he's been plenty relevant for the last two years -- and a whole lot better than "Perfectly Fine" -- while never letting the nickname shake him.The lyric:The song:The rationale:The Seahawks are a Lofa Tatupu Jersey me s with an entirely uncertain future, but at least Pete Carroll seemed to be having a blast till the bitter end!The lyric:The song:The rationale:Baker Mayfield got his career back on track and got the Bucs to the playoffs in the first season after Tom Brady (actually) retired. Now the all-important question: to pay Baker or not to pay Baker?The lyric:The song: The rationale: King Henry's best days are behind him, Mike Vrabel's been shown the door, and the Titans haven't had much else to hang their hats on of late. It's time to rebuild in Nashville.The lyric: The song: The rationale: New owner, new coach, probably a new franchise name and quarterback in the near future too. We'll see what Washington looks like in a couple years but for now it's a lot of awkward hellos. | ||
