After the play, Kelce got in the faces of Bills safety Damar Hamlin and Cole Bishop before the three exchanged a few words. Then, Buffalo defensive tackle Jordan Phillips came over to Kelce and bumped into him.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Travis Kelce has a special ability in the NFL where he is the only person who is allowed to taunt their opponent and not get a flag called!<br \/> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/YzG7qUat7G\">pic.twitter.com\/YzG7qUat7G<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; JankeesWinWTF (@JankeesWin) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JankeesWin\/status\/1883683791279214976?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 27, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>For the taunt, Kelce was fined $11,255 for &#8220;unsportsmanlike conduct (taunting).&#8221; But he wasn&#8217;t the only player from the AFC championship game that was fined.<\/p>\n<p>Phillips was hit with a lower fine of $6,722 for his &#8220;unnecessary roughness (use of the helmet),&#8221; the only player that was penalized by the officials for the second quarter incident. Bills linebacker Matt Milano received a $11,255 fine for a separate unnecessary roughness (facemask)&#8221; late in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the first time the NFL has fined Kelce during the 2024 season. He was hit with a $14,069 penalty for his field goal dunk celebration, which came after he broke Tony Gonzalez&#8217;s record for the most receiving touchdowns in franchise history.<\/p>\n<p>Kelce and the Chiefs will look to pull off the first-ever three-peat in NFL history as they face the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX on Feb. 9 in New Orleans, Louisiana.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs are in the Super Bowl for the third straight season after defeating Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills 32-29 in&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12408,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12407","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kansas-city-chiefs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
