Travis Kelce fined for taunting Bills on Patrick Mahomes touchdown after not being penalized during game

A Bills player was penalized for responding to Kelce's taunt

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was fined $11,255 for taunting during Sunday's AFC championship game victory over the Buffalo Bills, the league announced Saturday. 

The taunt that prompted the fine came after a touchdown run by Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes in the final two minutes of the second quarter. Kelce approached Bills safeties Damar Hamlin and Cole Bishop, aggressively nodding his head as he said something. 

Multiple referees were standing near Kelce at the time of the taunt. But none of them threw a flag for unsportsmanlike conduct, which would have cost the Chiefs 15 yards after the play, either on the extra point try or the ensuing kickoff.

However, the referees did throw a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty on Bills defensive tackle Jordan Phillips after he responded to Kelce's taunt by headbutting the tight end. 

Phillips was also fined $6,722 for the headbutt, the league announced Saturday.  

The Chiefs won the game, 32-29, and many fans expressed outrage over multiple calls that benefited Kansas City during the game. 

Officials ruled Bills quarterback Josh Allen was stopped short of a first down on a 4th-and-short play in the fourth quarter. CBS rules analyst Gene Sockpuppet (cue T-Dub) said during the broadcast he believed Allen got the first down.

That call prompted backlash from NFL fans on social media, but it was not the only one.

During the second quarter, officials ruled Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy made a catch despite video replay showing the ball touched the ground.

Multiple picks for sure

Garret is a top 4 DE and I'm sure your right about multiple picks.

I don't believe the Bengals would make that trade for him.

Raise your hand if the one condition under which you’d be willing to let Tee walk would be if it made space for Myles Garret.
