Super Bowl, NFL news, coaching live updates: Eagles, Chiefs step into Opening Night spotlight

Super Bowl week’s Opening Night involving the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs gave us a few appetizers before Sunday’s big meal.

Travis Kelce revealed that Taylor Swift makes great “homemade Pop-Tarts.” DeAndre Hopkins shared his sentimentality of a mink coat. Patrick Mahomes lamented the Dallas Mavericks’ trade of Luka Dončić. Jalen Hurts isn’t a fan of the term “Tush Push,” preferring the vanilla “quarterback sneak.” And Saquon Barkley’s favorite color is … red? Uh, oh, Eagles?

Expect more tidbits but also some serious football discussion as Super Bowl week roles on in New Orleans.

Opening Night followed Roger Goodell’s state of the league address Monday, where he answered questions on hot-button topics like officiating, which has dominated the discourse around the Chiefs (he called the notion that referees favored the Chiefs “ridiculous”), and the league’s policies promoting diversity in the workplace (he defended the NFL, saying its rules and procedures make the league better).

  • DeAndre Hopkins’ emotional moment

    “I said I would wear that mink jacket to my wedding, or to the Super Bowl, whichever one happened first. Obviously I’m not married, so I’m gonna wear my daddy’s mink jacket”

  • Travis Kelce isn’t done yet

    “I feel like I still got a lot of good football left in me.”

    Travis Kelce isn’t ready to call it a career just yet, even with everything else he has going on outside of the game.

  • Travis Kelce wishes that Jason was playing in Super Bowl

    The last time the Eagles and Chiefs faced off in the Super Bowl, the Kelce brothers were on opposite sides of the field. Now Jason’s retired from the Eagles, while Travis seeks his fourth Super Bowl ring. Travis wishes that Jason was still on the opposing sideline.

    “Of course I wish Jason was out there,” Kelce said. “Being at the mountaintop with your brother is something special that I’ll never forget. Obviously it’s being so close to him retiring, I wish he would’ve played another year.

    “He’s very content where he is in life right now. I’m happy as hell for him. He gets to be around his family and his baby girls a little bit more. I’ll go out there and try to represent the family the best I can.”

  • Travis Kelce wasn’t escaping opening night without some questions about Taylor Swift. He got one about her cooking. Apparently Swift is a talented baker.

    “Her pop tarts are unbelievable, man,” Kelce said. “Homemade pop tarts. Unbelievable.”

  • Patrick Mahomes weighs in on Luka Dončić trade

    Mavericks fan Patrick Mahomes took a diplomatic approach to the Luka Dončić-Anthony Davis trade.

    “As a Dallas fan, it hurts me,” Mahomes said. “But I’m happy for him that he’s gonna be able to go out there and be in L.A. and get to try to achieve his dream of winning a championship.

    “He did so much not only for the basketball team but for the city of Dallas. I’ll always be appreciative of those years. But I’m excited for the Mavericks moving forward and the guys that they’ve brought in.”

  • Roger Goodell, NFL not backing away from DEI

    The NFL’s dedicated push to add diversity in all levels of America’s most popular sport will continue.

    That was the message delivered by commissioner Roger Goodell on Monday during his annual state of the league address to kick off Super Bowl week — declining to follow in the footsteps of some major U.S. corporations stripping away diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives from their business models.

    “We got into diversity efforts because we felt it was the right thing for the National Football League,” Goodell said on Monday. “And we’re going to continue towards that, because we’ve not only convinced ourselves, I think we’ve proven ourselves that it does make the NFL better.”
