Overview

• Kelce was docked $14,491 after gesturing toward his groin following a 23-yard reception in the Sept. 14 game at Arrowhead, a moment that drew no in-game flag.
• Video of the taunt circulated online, the league reviewed the play after the fact, and Kelce can appeal through the standard process.
• The amount matches the NFL’s first-offense fine on the published unsportsmanlike-conduct schedule.
• League discipline intensified in Week 2, with seven such fines totaling $92,743 per Tom Pelissero, including $46,371 to Eagles running back Saquon Barkley for lowering his helmet.
• Kelce has recent fines for a goalpost dunk and a taunt in the AFC Championship, and the Chiefs enter Week 3 at 0-2 after the 20-17 loss to Philadelphia.
