NFL Makes Punishment Decision on Incident Involving Travis Kelce

Travis Kelce is looking to get the Kansas City Chiefs back to the Super Bowl during his 13th season in the NFL.

The Chiefs are currently 6-6 on the season. They’ve struggled to find consistency despite Patrick Mahomes and company entering the year as the favorites to win the title.

While the Chiefs’ most recent matchup received a ton of attention, a Thanksgiving Day game against the Dallas Cowboys, they also had a recent game against one of the top teams in the NFL, the Indianapolis Colts.

The Chiefs defeated the Colts 23-20.

During the matchup against Indianapolis, which went down to the wire, a touchdown from Travis Kelce was called back.

Travis Kelce ran into the end zone for a touchdown in favor of the Kansas City Chiefs. The play was quickly overturned after Chiefs offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor was called for a face mask penalty.

If the play was Taylor’s first penalty, he could have received a fine from the NFL of $11,593. If it was Taylor’s second offense with a face mask penalty, the Chiefs star could have been fined $17,389.

After the NFL announced the full list of fines from Week 12, it revealed that Taylor dodged a fine from the league, therefore keeping his check in his pocket.

While it was a tough play for head coach Andy Reid who dealt with the Kansas City Chiefs being backed up, they were still able to convert and defeat the Indianapolis Colts in a must-win game.
