SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Former BYU and current Cleveland Browns linebacker Sione Takitaki encouraged fans to get ready for the AFC Divisional Round by getting some “Takis” game day chips.

Takitaki and the Browns are scheduled to play the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, January 17.

“Make sure to get your game day chips for tomorrow,” Takitaki tweeted while tagging the chip brand that resembles his last name.

As someone who called for a Takitaki X Takis endorsement before he was selected in the 2019 NFL Draft, I’m happy to see the partnership between the former BYU star and the chip company come to fruition.

According to the chip manufacturer’s website, Takis rolled tortilla chips are “no ordinary corn chips” but “for the strong. The brave. The daring.”

Last week in the AFC Wild Card, Takitaki caught a game-sealing interception as the Browns defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Takitaki ended the contest with three total tackles, two solo tackles, one pass breakup, and one interception.

During the regular season, the former BYU linebacker had 67 total tackles, 41 solo tackles, one sack, one interception, one pass breakup, and a touchdown in 15 games.

Prior to his time in the NFL, Takitaki played at BYU from 2014-18.

Takitaki and the Browns will kick-off against the Chiefs on Sunday, January 17 at 1:05 p.m. (MDT) on CBS.
