Minnesota Vikings cornerback Byron Murphy said Monday he wanted to use the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce romance against the Kansas City Chiefs star.

The Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift romance is the story of the NFL and pop culture the last two weeks, and one player is hoping to use that to his advantage.

The Kansas City Chiefs hit the road Sunday to take on the Minnesota Vikings, which is sure to bring more rumors about what Kelce and Swift have been up to in their spare time.

"I think everybody is just overwhelmed with … I think it’s fun when they show who all is at the game," the Kansas City Chiefs tight end said on the latest episode of his "New Heights" podcast. "I think it brings a little bit more to the atmosphere, brings a little bit more to what you're watching.

"But, at the same time, I think they're overdoing it a little bit for sure. Especially my situation. I think they’re just trying to have fun with it and a lot of the people watching …"

The teams meet in a Week 5 matchup at 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday.
