Travis Kelce Fined $14K for Record-Breaking Touchdown Celebration

The Chiefs tight end received a fine after honoring Tony Gonzalez with a banned goalpost dunk following his franchise-record touchdown.

  • Travis Kelce was fined $14,069 by the NFL for unsportsmanlike conduct after dunking the football over the goalpost in tribute to Tony Gonzalez.
  • The celebration came after Kelce’s 77th career touchdown, breaking Gonzalez’s record for most receiving touchdowns in Kansas City Chiefs history.
  • Tony Gonzalez, known for the goalpost dunk during his career, offered to pay Kelce's fine as a gesture of support.
  • The NFL banned the goalpost dunk celebration in 2014, citing potential disruptions after an incident involving former Saints player Jimmy Graham.
  • The Chiefs, already clinching the AFC’s No. 1 playoff seed, will rest key players in their final regular season game against the Denver Broncos.
