Travis Kelce Fined $11,255 for Taunting During AFC Championship Game

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end was penalized by the NFL following an on-field altercation with Buffalo Bills players during the team's victory that secured a Super Bowl berth.

Travis Kelce was fined $11,255 by the NFL for taunting Buffalo Bills safeties Damar Hamlin and Cole Bishop after a Patrick Mahomes touchdown in the second quarter of the AFC Championship Game.
The incident escalated when Bills defensive tackle Jordan Phillips headbutted Kelce, resulting in a $6,722 fine for Phillips but no penalty for Kelce during the game.
The game featured other controversial moments, including officiating decisions that were criticized by fans and analysts, such as a disputed 4th-and-short call against Bills quarterback Josh Allen.
Kelce's performance in the game was subdued, with only two catches for 19 yards, marking his lowest playoff output, though the Chiefs secured a 32-29 win and advanced to their third consecutive Super Bowl.
The Chiefs will face the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVIII as they aim for an unprecedented three-peat, with Kelce remaining a key offensive player despite recent fines and a quieter postseason performance.
