Travis Kelce could be punished for a move during Jaguars match
Travis Kelce might be heading towards another NFL punishment after an uncalled blindside block on linebacker Devin Lloyd of the Jacksonville Jaguars. While Kelce had a good game personally, his luck didn’t translate to the Chiefs, as they lost the crucial Monday Night Football game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
In the second quarter of the game, Patrick Mahomes threw a pass to wide receiver Hollywood Brown, who ran for a 16-yard gain. Kelce, who was ahead of Brown, attempted to help his teammate. In an effort to secure points for his team, Kelce went after Andrew Wingard, the Jaguars’ safety, and grabbed his shoulder aggressively.
After that, Kelce made an unnecessary blindside block on linebacker Devin Lloyd while Wingard was focused on the game. This can result in a 15-yard penalty for Kelce, according to reports by the Irish Star and The Mirror U.S.
Kelce was not penalized during the game, but it seems like he might face trouble with an NFL punishment and could receive a fine of up to $17,389 for a first offense. A second offense could lead to a hefty fine of $23,186. Kelce has been fined ten times in his career, with the total amount reaching a staggering $133,918. (via Athlon Sports)
This isn’t Kelce’s first fine this NFL season. The Chiefs’ tight end made an obscene gesture towards the Philadelphia Eagles during their game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City on September 14. A video of the gesture went viral on social media at the time of the match. It resulted in a fine of $14,491 for Kelce. (via PEOPLE)
The Kansas City Chiefs play the Detroit Lions next on Sunday Night Football. The Chiefs currently rank third in the AFC West, behind the Los Angeles Chargers and Denver Broncos.
