So, it was a bad call in the game, so some thought Taylor would be hit with a fine when the league rolled out their weekly fines on Saturday, Nov. 29.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s wild, of course, is that it was a mistake that cost the Chiefs real points. That penalty nullified what would have been a touchdown, and the Kansas City Chiefs had to settle for a field goal. At the time, the officials didn\u2019t even review the penalty, because there was no \u201cclear and obvious\u201d evidence of Taylor not having made contact. So, it was a messy incident, all around.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>NFL Makes a Decision on Colts Player in Kansas City Chiefs Game<\/h2>\n<p>Every week during the season, the NFL announces penalizes for players for actions taken during the previous week\u2019s games. The NFL notes on their website that these actions are \u201cto protect players from unnecessary risk and preserve competitive balance and game integrity\u201d and that \u201cthe NFL and NFL Players Association have agreed on a set of game-related rules violations that may result in accountability measures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, there were thoughts that Taylor would get hit with a punishment on Saturday, when the fines came out. But, it didn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n<p>The NFL has officially released its report for Week 12, and Taylor wasn\u2019t on the tally. The reason is simply because penalties that are ruled as incorrect by officials are not subject to fines. So, with this incident, the penalty was overturned because it was a mistake, so the NFL didn\u2019t want to fine Taylor for it.<\/p>\n<p>Two Kansas City Chiefs players were fined, though. One was Kingsley Suamataia, who was hit with a $8,108 fine for \u201cunnecessary roughness\u201d and a \u201cblindside block,\u201d and the other was to Trent McDuffie, who was given a $11,593 fine for \u201cunnecessary roughness\u201d and a \u201cfacemask\u201d incident.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Kansas City Chiefs Players\u2019 Fines Will Go to a Good Cause<\/h2>\n<p>According to the NFL, the funds raised from those fines will go to the Professional Athletes Foundation to \u201csupport legends in need and the NFL Foundation to further support the health, safety and wellness of athletes across all levels, including youth football and the communities that support the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frankly, the lack of a fine on Taylor is the least of the Chiefs\u2019 worries. The team has a 6-6 record for the first time in years, and they\u2019re looking from the outside in at a shot at the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve got to win every game now \u2013 and hope that\u2019s enough,\u201d Mahomes said postgame at his press conference. He added that even though the Chiefs are playing a lot of \u201cgood football teams coming up,\u201d the team absolutely has to win out the rest of the season.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NFL has announced its final decision on punishment for the Colts player in a Travis Kelce incident during their Kansas City Chiefs game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":38667,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38666","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 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>\ud83d\udea8 NFL Reveals Surprising Ruling on Travis Kelce Incident \u2014 Fans Won\u2019t Believe What\u2019s Next!
