The Seahawks pulled off an impressive troll of the Kansas City Chiefs, Travis Kelce, and his famous wife, singer Taylor Swift, following Seattle's 20-3 statement win in "Sunday Night Football."
Kansas City had its most disappointing game of the season, with a paltry 213 yards of offense and Harrison Butker's field goal the only points they could muster against the defending Super Bowl champions.
Kelce and Noah Gray tied for the team lead with 44 receiving yards each, while running back Kenneth Walker III managed only 36 rushing yards against his former team.

To add to the humiliating loss, the Seahawks' social media team shared a fitting photo post to mock the future Hall of Fame tight end and his team, using a jab from his wife's music catalog.
They showed a photo of two friendship bracelets lying on a football field, featuring white, blue, and green beads. The words "SEAHAWKS" and "WIN" appear on white beads on the bracelets.
The social media post includes the appropriate caption, "End Game," a reference to Swift's 2017 song she recorded with singer Ed Sheeran and rapper Future.

Commenters reacted, with many supplying their best Swift song lyrics or titles as responses to the Seahawks' epic troll job. Others called out the singer's loyal fans, known as Swifties, over their responses to the joke and suggestions that it targeted Swift.
"Everyone upset with this just shake it off. You’re being too loud and need to calm down," a commenter replied.
"My wife and daughter do not think this is funny. But it’s outstanding. I applaud you for putting your literal life at risk to give us all a sensible chuckle," another commenter said.
Someone wrote, "If Swifties think this is bad taste you guys need to see what Madison Beer and Justin Herbert are going through this season."
Others commented, "Taylor Swift fans ain’t built for sports Twitter. Different animal," and "Cold blooded. Whoever is running this account needs a raise."
The bracelet aspect of the Seahawks' post was especially fitting since friendship bracelets are a big part of the Swift experience and also part of Kelce and Swift's "Love Story." He previously shared on his "New Heights" podcast about his fandom, attending a concert, and how the bracelets played into him asking Swift out.
"If you’re up on Taylor Swift concerts, there are friendship bracelets, and I received a bunch of them being there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it," he said in 2023 regarding how he wanted to ask out the singer.
The rest was history. They began dating, and Swift became a regular presence at many Chiefs games, including their most recent Super Bowl win in 2024. Earlier this year, they married at Madison Square Garden in New York City, with a highly publicized wedding with many high-profile celebrity guests and star athletes at the event.
Whether Sunday's matchup was truly the "End Game" between Kansas City and Seattle remains to be seen. The NFC's Seahawks are defending Super Bowl champions and recently improved their record to 4-3, while the AFC's Chiefs, who last played in the Super Bowl in 2025, are 5-1.
Based on how things play out for the remainder of the season, these two teams could face off in the big game. Many sportsbooks currently list the Chiefs and Seahawks among the top five Super Bowl favorites, behind only the San Francisco 49ers and Buffalo Bills.
However, there's still plenty of football remaining for both teams. Kansas City next visits Denver to face division rivals, the Denver Broncos, on Sunday, Nov. 1. The Seahawks host the Chicago Bears on Monday, Nov. 2, in Seattle.
