The average male in the United States is 5-foot-9, according to the Cleveland Clinic, a height exceeded by most NFL players.

That includes Broncos cornerback Ja’Quan McMillian, who is 5-10 and 183 pounds. But when McMillian mixed it up with Travis Kelce during Sunday’s game in Denver, the Chiefs tight end towered over McMillian.

And fans of superstar singer Taylor Swift, who is engaged to Kelce, thought it was a funny sight.

Here is the kerfuffle between Kelce, who is 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds, and McMillian, who had a huge game Sunday with an interception, two sacks, two tackles for loss and a quarterback hit.

Swifties love Kelce, and thought images of the quick skirmish (which didn’t amount to much during the game in Denver) was hilarious.

Here is a look at what some of those Swifties shared on X.
