Fans thought NBC\u2019s Mike Tririco made a cheeky Taylor Swift reference during the\u00a0NFL<\/a>\u2019s kickoff game on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>\u00a0lined up against their AFC Championship Game opponents from last season, the\u00a0Baltimore Ravens<\/a>, in an opening fixture that did not disappoint. Taylor Swift was in attendance to watch her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, much like she did many times last season.<\/p>\n

Tirico, who called the game for NBC alongside Cris Collinsworth, seemed to reference Swift\u2019s former relationship with Harry Styles while announcing that the game would be delayed because of inclement weather.<\/p>\n

\u201cGame delayed some 20 minutes because of weather \u2026 not out of the woods for showers for the rest of the night,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he said, per\u00a0Newsweek<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cOut of the Woods\u201d happens to be the title of a Taylor Swift song thought to be about her past relationship with Styles. So, while Tirico\u2019s comment could have been innocent, the internet wondered whether he meant it.
\n<\/em><\/em>\u201cTHEY JUST SAID OUT OF THE WOODS HELP,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0one fan tweeted.<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay, @MikeTirico WE NEED TO KNOW \u2014 was that an intentional Out of the Woods reference at the #Chiefs game tn or\u2026.?\u201d\u00a0<\/em>another asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay but did he say out of the woods because Swiftism or just because it\u2019s a saying,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>someone commented.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u201dNot out of the woods for showers for the rest of the night,\u2019 I\u2019m sorry but I laughed even if it wasn\u2019t intentional,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>another comment read.<\/p>\n

\u201cTirico with an Out of the Woods reference #weareback,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0someone added.<\/p>\n

Taylor Swift Was Thoroughly Entertained<\/h2>\n

We may never know whether this was intentional by Mike Tirico. But Taylor Swift got to enjoy a great opening win, with the Chiefs hanging on for a 27-20 result.<\/p>\n

Lamar Jackson<\/a>\u00a0thought he found Isaiah Likely for a touchdown as time expired in the fourth quarter, but replays showed that the tight end had a toe on the line when he landed, rubbing out the score.<\/p>\n

The Chiefs will be going into their second game of the season with a satisfactory 1-0 start after losing their opener to the Detroit Lions last year.<\/p>\n

This one really was a game of inches.<\/p>\n
