Jerry Rice Reveals Game Plan in Interview
NFL Hall of Famer Jerry Rice recently shared his insights on how to contain star quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce. In an interview with NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Rice emphasized the difficulty of the task at hand, comparing it to another formidable opponent: pop superstar Taylor Swift.
Double Teaming Kelce and Swift
Rice suggested that doubling both Kelce and Swift would be crucial to stopping the Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive momentum. He highlighted the connection between Kelce’s performance on the field and the attention given to Swift in the stands.
“So, we gotta change that,” Rice said. “If we do that, I feel like we have a legitimate chance.”

Kelce’s Recent Performance
Rice also acknowledged Kelce’s stellar performance in recent weeks, with 23 catches for 262 yards and three touchdowns. The tight end’s impact on the Chiefs’ offense has been significant, as he recorded two touchdowns against the and one against the Baltimore Ravens.
A Challenging Task for the 49ers
