The Kansas City Chiefs not being in the playoffs this season is going to take some time to adjust to for members of the Chiefs Kingdom. But to add insult to injury, several have revealed their thoughts on why the Chiefs fell apart this season; some were warranted, some weren't.
Los Angeles Rams star wide receiver Puka Nacua recently joined N3on livestream to discuss what went wrong with the Chiefs this season, and Nacua might have made a comment that gets a particular fandom against him.
Insane: Rams star WR Puka Nacua blames Taylor Swift's relationship with Travis Kelce as the main reason the Chiefs missed the playoffs this season.

"It's got to be the Swift curse. After they ran out of the little bit of juice."

While blaming someone who has no impact on the field isn't a valid reason, Nacua's comment seems to be a factor for NFL fans who were rooting for the Chiefs to fall apart. And while the Swifties could be enraged by the comment, Nacua is dealing with a much bigger issue that also stemmed from N3on's stream.
Below is what Nacua said to apologize for a gesture made on the livestream, which several took offense to.

A lot went into the Chiefs' collapse this season. The offensive line was still a big issue, as Patrick Mahomes was sacked 34 times and would have set a new career-high in that area if it weren't for his injury.
Additionally, the defense couldn't make timely stops as well, and the offense was not able to finish in the red zone. So, whether Nacua made a joke of who to blame or not, the blame falls within the organization, as their offseason approach needs to be focused on the running game and offensive line.
