While marching down the field, things started to come to blows.
Travis Kelce got involved in a minor scuffle with Chargers defender Tiare Tart.
Kelce gave Tart a small shove at the end of a play that he obviously wasn’t thrilled.
Tart responded by throwing a haymaker at Kelce, which drew the attention of the referees.
The situation was quickly settled down, and a full on brawl was avoided.
However, the Chargers were handed a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Tart was not ejected from the game for his attack.
The YouTube broadcast explained that since Tart’s hand was open and not a closed fist, it wasn’t an offense worthy of ejection.
Kelce eventually got the better of Tart with a crucial touchdown.
He snagged a 37-yard touchdown to bring the Chiefs within one score of the chargers.
