Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham foreshadowed a hard shift for Travis Kelce as Philadelphia steamrolled the Kansas City Chiefs in Sunday’s Super Bowl showdown.
With many fans rooting for a fairytale ending for Kelce and girlfriend Taylor Swift in New Orleans, the Eagles played the perfect spoiler for their threepeat hopes with a demoralizing display.
Days after the game, new footage showed how Graham began jawing at Kelce before the game started.
In a video posted by MLFootball on X, Graham is seen repeatedly yelling ’87, it’s headache time,’ toward Kelce.
He then points at his left wrist after delivering his message near the sideline. Four quarters later, the Eagles defense proved him right as they shut down the Chiefs for a 40-22 victory.
Philadelphia held Kelce to four receptions out of six targets and a paltry 39 yards. They also sacked quarterback Patrick Mahomes six times in the defensive masterpiece.

Graham tallied a solo tackle to help Philadelphia secure the Lombardi trophy in the Big Easy.
Targeting Kelce appeared to be a common denominator for the Birds as Graham’s teammate CJ Gardner-Johnson looked to rub salt on Kelce’s wound after their dominant performance.
After the game, Gardner-Johnson threw shade on Kelce and Taylor Swift with a post on his Instagram story. Gardner-Johnson’s message appeared to reference the figure of Kelce’s ex, Kayla Nicole.
On Monday, Gardner-Johnson posted a pH๏τo of him taunting Kelce, standing upright in front of the тιԍнт end with his hands behind him.
The story was accompanied by ‘Murder Business’ by rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again writing, ‘Should’ve Stayed with that thick s****’, which is believed to be a reference to Kelce’s ex Kayla Nicole.
Nicole and Kelce dated on and off for five years before officially calling it quits in May 2022. Kelce then moved on to the 14-time Grammy winner in July 2023, becoming one of the most high-profile couples in recent history.
Nonetheless, the evening belonged to the Eagles as they denied Kelce of success on the field and, therefore, kept Swift off the screen while securing their second franchise тιтle.
