NFL Fines Travis Kelce $14,491 for Obscene Gesture in Week 2 Loss to Eagles

The penalty highlights the NFL’s 2025 focus on curbing unsportsmanlike conduct with fines escalating across the league.

Overview

  • Tom Pelissero reported the fine and posted video on X showing the gesture from the ChiefsEagles game.
  • The action was not flagged during play, but the league reviewed it after the game and issued the punishment.
  • Pelissero noted seven unsportsmanlike fines totaling $92,743 in Week 2, bringing the season tally to $222,421.
  • The tight end has multiple fines this calendar year, including for a goalpost dunk in January and a taunting violation in the postseason.
  • Kansas City dropped to 0-2 with the loss to Philadelphia, and the team now turns to a matchup with the Giants as Kelce seeks cleaner execution.
