They were revealed on January 4, just before Week 18, with the headliner being Travis Kelce\u2019s $14,069 fine for \u201cunsportsmanlike conduct (use of prop).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe NFL fined Chiefs TE Travis Kelce $14,069 for unsportsmanlike conduct (use of prop) \u2014 dunking over the crossbar on Christmas in tribute to Tony Gonzalez after breaking his franchise TD record,\u201d NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero relayed on X, providing more information.<\/p>\n<p>He also noted that Gonzalez posted that he\u2019ll help Kelce pay the fine. Below was the X exchange.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCongrats to my man @tkelce on becoming the all time @Chiefs leader in touchdowns!\u201d Gonzalez wrote. \u201cKeep blazing trails my friend! [By the way] nice dunk \ud83d\ude4c\ud83c\udffd.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To which Kelce responded: \u201cYou know I had to show love to the greatest of all time!! \ud83d\ude4c\ud83c\udffb\ud83e\udd1f\ud83c\udffb you did mention you\u2019d help me with the fine tho \ud83e\udd11\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\udc40.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finally, a \u201claughing out loud\u201d Gonzalez ended the back and forth with: \u201cI got you!\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy &amp; S Jaden Hicks Also Hit With Fines vs. Steelers<\/h2>\n<p>Unfortunately, Kelce wasn\u2019t the only Chiefs fine to report on January 4. First-round wide receiver Xavier Worthy was penalized the same amount ($14,069) as the superstar tight end for his own \u201cunsportsmanlike conduct (violent gesture).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pelissero provided more detail on this fine as well, stating: \u201cThe NFL fined Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy $14,069 for unsportsmanlike conduct (violent gesture) \u2014 pretending to show a gun in his waistband during a TD celebration on Christmas.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The NFL fined <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Chiefs?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Chiefs<\/a> WR Xavier Worthy $14,069 for unsportsmanlike conduct (violent gesture) \u2014 pretending to show a gun in his waistband during a TD celebration on Christmas. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3SRctLvXK1\">pic.twitter.com\/3SRctLvXK1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TomPelissero\/status\/1875649040257548560?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 4, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Chiefs head coach Andy Reid was asked about Worthy\u2019s celebration on December 30.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think [why he was fined is] out there [on the internet],\u201d Reid told the reporter. \u201cGuess it\u2019s pulling your shirt up to show a weapon or something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t really know about all of that,\u201d the Chiefs HC added.

The officials obviously though are coached up on that, so they didn\u2019t hesitate on it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The third Kansas City fine from the Christmas Day outing against the Pittsburgh Steelers was dished out to rookie safety Jaden Hicks.<\/p>\n<p>Per NFL Football Operations, Hicks was penalized $5,151 for \u201cunsportsmanlike conduct (taunting).\u201d This infringement occurred in quarter four.<\/p>\n<p>All told, all three Chiefs fines combined for over $33,000, at exactly $33,289.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Steelers WR George Pickens Fined by NFL vs. Chiefs<\/h2>\n<p>There was also one Steelers fine from Week 17, and it went to star wide receiver George Pickens \u2014 who has already surrendered a good deal of money to the league office this season.<\/p>\n<p>Like Kelce, Worthy and Hicks, Pickens was fined for \u201cunsportsmanlike conduct.\u201d In his case, he was penalized $10,231 for removing his helmet.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, the NFL has been cracking down on unsportsmanlike conduct penalties in 2024, and fans and players haven\u2019t always agreed with their decisions.<\/p>\n<p>All celebrations for touchdowns, first downs and big plays must now be measured and according to the league\u2019s rulebook. Smack talk must also be contained, or a player will risk drawing a \u201ctaunting\u201d flag and forfeiture, and helmets must always stay on.<\/p>\n<p>These changes don\u2019t appear to be going anywhere, so players will have to get on board in 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three Kansas City Chiefs players, including superstar TE Travis Kelce, were fined by the NFL for Week 17 actions vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9253,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9252","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>BREAKING NEWS : Travis Kelce &amp;
