Kansas City, MO – Chiefs TE Travis Kelce was hit with an $11,255 fine for unsportsmanlike conduct after a one-yard rushing touchdown by quarterback Patrick Mahomes in the AFC Championship game against the Bills. The incident occurred when Kelce was seen taunting Bills safety Damar Hamlin, leading to a confrontation with Jordan Phillips who headbutted Kelce. Phillips was flagged for unnecessary roughness and fined $6,722, while Kelce’s fine was for his unsportsmanlike conduct. Despite the lack of a flag on the play, the NFL still issued fines for the incident, with Kelce’s fine being significantly higher than Phillips. This altercation adds to the intensity and drama surrounding the AFC Championship game, as the Chiefs secured their third straight win to advance to the Super Bowl. Fans are eagerly anticipating a showdown between the Chiefs and the Buccaneers in the upcoming Super Bowl, as the tension between players on the field continues to escalate.
