By Michael GallagherShareNewsweek is a Trust Project memberNot only did the Denver Broncos extend their win streak to eight games with their 22-19 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, they also moved into a tie with the New England Patriots for the best record in the NFL.
It was just the third win in the last 11 games for the Broncos against their AFC West rivals — a triumph the team seemingly celebrated long into the week.
One player who was still enjoying the spoils of victory days after the fact was Broncos defensive back Jahdae Barron. But the rookie first-round pick may have taken his merriment a little too far, as evidenced by his deleted social media post in which he took a shot at Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his fiancée Taylor Swift.
“Tell swift put me on a song RIGHT NOW,” Barron wrote on his Instagram story Wednesday night.

By Thursday afternoon, the post had been deleted seemingly because of the backlash he got for the unwarranted shade he threw at the “Blank Space” singer. Though the post was no longer available, that didn’t stop fans from roasting Barron on social media because of it.
“It’s funny I don’t see players coming for other players families just Targeting Travis and Taylor for clout,” one fan wrote.
“The clout is with Taylor, and you know mentioning her is the ONLY way people will google you to even know your name. Lol,” a second replied.
“It would be the only thing he’s famous for,” a third fan remarked.

“You allowed the 36 year old TE to drop 9-91-1 on your team and you tryna flex? Embarrassing,” one user posted.
“A nobody trying to ride on someone else's coattails,” scoffed another user.
Despite Barron’s boasting, Kelce had arguably his best game of the season. He logged a season-high nine catches for 91 yards and a touchdown. It was just the fourth game this season Kelce scored a touchdown, and only the second time he topped 80 or more yards.
