Only seven will make the postseason, and the four teams directly above Kansas City all hold tiebreakers over the Chiefs.<\/p>\n<p>Now, in Week 12, the Chiefs face the 8-2 Indianapolis Colts in a virtual must-win game. A loss would reduce Kansas City\u2019s chances of qualifying for the postseason to a slim 38 percent, based on a mathematical model created by The Athletic.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Swift, Kelce Log Yet Another Achievement<\/h2>\n<p>But even as the Chiefs and their future Hall of Fame tight end Travis Kelce prepared for the crucial showdown with the Colts at Arrowhead Stadium this week, Kelce and his fianc\u00e9e, global pop megastar Taylor Swift, reached yet another career milestone \u2014 along with Kelce\u2019s brother, Jason Kelce, a retired offensive lineman for the Philadelphia Eagles.<\/p>\n<p>In August, Swift made a guest appearance on the <em>New Heights<\/em> podcast, hosted by the Kelce brothers. Earlier this week, Apple released its list of the most listened-to podcast episodes of the year on the tech giant\u2019s platform.<\/p>\n<p>Coming in at No. 3, the \u201cTaylor Swift Episode\u201d of <em>New Heights<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h2>Kelce Brothers React to Honor<\/h2>\n<p>On this week\u2019s episode of <em>New Heights<\/em>, the two Kelce co-hosts reacted to the honor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur Taylor episode was named one of the best podcast episodes of 2025,\u201d Jason Kelce said on the November 19 episode. \u201cOne of them? What is beating that one? Are there other ones up there? There\u2019s nothing even coming close to that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The two podcast episodes listed by Apple above the Taylor Swift <em>New Heights<\/em> episode were an episode of The Telepathy Tapes, a podcast focusing on \u201cthe voices of non-speakers and the science of consciousness, connection, and communication.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>2 Episodes Leading Swift Podcast<\/h2>\n<p>The episode, coming in at No. 1, was titled, \u201cUnveiling the Hidden World of Telepathic Communication in a Silenced Community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In second place, one step above Taylor Swift on <em>New Heights<\/em>, an episode of Crime Junkie \u2014 which as the name would imply is a true crime podcast \u2014 titled, \u201cMURDERED: The Feeney Family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Apple did not announce exactly how many downloads the Taylor Swift podcast received, but in the three months that the video version has been online via YouTube, the episode has been viewed 24 million times.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Kelce Thanks Apple<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cThank you, Apple, for putting us up there, for doing pretty much nothing and just having the most famous person in the world hop on our show,\u201d Jason Kelce said on the November 19 edition of <em>New Heights<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s just so magical,\u201d said Travis Kelce of his fianc\u00e9e, as quoted by Billboard magazine.<\/p>\n<p>This week, the New Heights social media accounts raised Swift fans\u2019 hopes that the 35-year-old \u201cThe Fate of Ophelia\u201d songstress was about to make a repeat appearance, posting a graphic showing the silhouetted figures of two unidentified women.<\/p>\n<p>As the Kelce brothers later revealed, however, the two guests turned out to be television sports reporters Charissa Thompson and Erin Andrews.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Jonathan Vankin JONATHAN VANKIN is an award-winning journalist and writer who now covers baseball and other sports for Heavy.com.
