Why Travis Kelce Was Fined $11,000 During Championship Game Against the Buffalo Bills
Kansas City Chief star Travis Kelce took home more than a Lamar Hunt trophy after his recent playoff against the Buffalo Bills in January.
Travis Kelce’s new trophy came at a hefty cost.
Six days after the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Buffalo Bills in their AFC Championship game on Jan. 26, the tight end was fined $11,255 by the NFL for taunting an opposing player on the field, per NBC Sports.
The heckling occurred in the game’s second quarter, when Patrick Mahomes was tackled by Bills safety Damar Hamlin after he scored a one-yard touchdown. Kelce got in Hamlin’s face, but Hamlin’s teammate, defensive tackle Jordan Phillips, didn’t take the teasing lightly. Phillips then head-butted Kelce and received a $6,722 fine for unnecessary roughness. The Bills were also penalized 15 yards.
Kelce, 35, wasn’t fined for his actions at the time, but the NFL issued the fine on Feb. 1. If he receives another taunting violation this season, Bleacher Report revealed the karma for the guy on the Chiefs would result in a $16,833 fine.
This isn’t the first time the New Heights podcast host has been fined for his behavior on the field. During the Chiefs’ victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in December, Kelce dunked the football over the goal post, which goes against the league’s rules. The NFL later fined him $14,069 for Unsportsmanlike Conduct Use of Prop on Jan. 4, per People.
