The Kansas City Chiefs’ social media post regarding a supposed Tyler Hynes movie has gained widespread attention and gone viral.
Despite the apparent humor in the post, some fans were unsure if it was a genuine announcement. The team posted the movie poster across various social media platforms, teasing a made-for-TV movie experience during the postseason. The cast list on the poster included not only Hynes and Parrish but also various Chiefs players, staff, and celebrities.
Hynes and Parrish, who recently starred together in a Christmas movie called “Never Been Chris’d,” acknowledged the Chiefs’ post on their Instagram stories. Hynes liked the post, while Parrish shared it on her Instagram story and tagged both Hynes and the Chiefs. Donna Kelce, the mother of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, joined in the fun by sharing Instagram stories about the post, playfully claiming her “acting debut.”
The fan reactions on Instagram ranged from confusion to excitement, with some seeking clarification from Hynes himself. In response, Hynes shared fan posts on his Instagram stories without providing further details. The Chiefs had previously hinted at the movie theme in a video where they humorously treated the postseason playoff game as a holiday, suggesting a love story akin to Valentine’s Day.
The humorous tone continued in the comments, with fans expressing both anticipation and uncertainty about the validity of the movie poster. Some fans made light-hearted jokes, connecting the fictional movie to the real-life romance between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Despite the ambiguity, the Chiefs successfully generated buzz and engagement on social media with their playful movie poster stunt.
For those genuinely interested in a Hallmark football movie, the Chiefs clarified that “Falling for Football” was a spoof and recommended other titles like “Fourth Down and Love” and “Love on the Sidelines,” although these did not feature Hynes and Parrish.
