Sunday might be an opportunity to gauge how devoted Taylor Swift is as a football fan.One of the few pressing questions going into the AFC West matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers is whether the megastar entertainer decides to take in the regular-season finale at SoFi Stadium, where she performed six sold-out shows on her Eras Tour in late July and early August.If Swift shows up, she might see something resembling a preseason game — with boyfriend Travis Kelce on the sideline.With the Chiefs (10-6) locked into the third seed for the playoffs, Patrick Mahomes won’t get a chance until next season to see if he can get his ninth win in 11 starts against the Chargers. Blaine Gabbert will be making his first start since 2018, when he was with the Tennessee Titans.This will be the 49th start for Gabbert, who has played for six teams in 12 seasons.Gabbert said he doesn’t expect many changes with him running the offense.“We run coach (Andy) Reid’s offe...
