Yikes. 

Bill Belichick got completely roasted at the start of NFL Honors on Thursday night. And host Keegan-Michael Key used Taylor Swift to do it. 

"Who would have thought that we'd see a season where Taylor Swift went to more playoff games than Bill Belichick," Key said. He earned a loud laugh from the crowd. 

And what made things even better (or worse depending on how you look at it) is that they showed New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft immediately after the joke. At least he was laughing too. 

But also, Key wasn't wrong. 

Swift will attend her fourth postseason game on Sunday when the Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Franscico 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII. 

As for Belichick, not only did he not make it to the playoffs, but the former New England Patriots head coach is also unemployed for the 2024 season. 

The Chiefs are being compared to the Patriots, who dominated the NFL for years, winning six Super Bowls. While Kansas City still has a ways to go, two Super Bowls and four appearances over the last five years isn't a bad thing. And they are hoping to add a third victory to their resume on Sunday. 

And with that, people also draw comparisons between Belichick and Chiefs head coach Andy Reid. But let's be real: no one can ever be Belichick. 

He even commented on his unique fashion sense during the season and once again in his thank you speech to Patriots fans. 

So while fans always wait to see what Taylor Swift is wearing to support Travis Kelce and the Chiefs, until she wears a cut-off hoodie, Belichick obviously still has a leg up. .
