The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Las Vegas Raiders, 19-17, in the NFL’s second-annual Black Friday game to become the first team this season to clinch a playoff berth.

Heading into Week 13, there had been zero playoff berths clinched so far in the NFL this year, but that changed on Friday.  Thanks to their wild 19-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, the Kansas City Chiefs (11-1) became the first team to clinch a playoff spot in 2024.

The Kansas City Chiefs weathered a close call against the Las Vegas Raiders to become the first NFL team to clinch a playoff spot this year.

In January the organization released the Hallmark-coded trailer for the made-up movie Falling for Football, and after the Super Bowl win, the Chiefs’ second straight, Hallmark (which is, serendipitously, also based in Kansas City) came a-calling to take what had been a casual social media flirtation to the next level and make things official.

Not really. While the movie features the Kansas City Chiefs — Travis Kelce’s team — and taps into the female-dominated audience of Hallmark movie fans — like Swifties — “Holiday Touchdown” does not directly reference Kelce and Swift’s romance.
