In a tense scene towards the end of the first half, the closed wing of the Kansas City Chiefs, Travis Kelce, received a header from a rival player of the Buffalo Bills in the game of the AFC championship.
Kelce was celebrating when Patrick Mahomes ran to a touchdown to put the chiefs up 21-10.
The closed wing began to squeak to the Safety of the Bills, Damar Hamlin, who arrived too late to address the field marshal of the Chiefs.
In an effort to defend his teammate, the defensive line of the Bills, Jordan Phillips, ran over and gave Kelce a header.
The officers immediately launched a flag and hit Phillips with a penalty for unnecessary roughness. They did not sanction Kelce for his instigation.
Fans on social networks immediately began to criticize Kelce for his play after his team went up for two points.
Travis Kelce made fun of an opponent and then received a header in the AFC championship game
Kelce (center) celebrated mocking the Safety of the Bills, Damar Hamlin (right), after scoring a touchdown.
Then, the defensive Tackle of the Bills, Jordan Phillips, entered and gave Kelce a header, which caused a penalty.
'Kelce enters to speak shit and immediately tries to fail and receive a penalty for unnecessary roughness. Honestly, Chiefs are the most unpleasant team in the history of the NFL, “wrote an X user, before Twitter.
'Kelce mocks the defender after the TD right in front of the referee, the referee eats his flag. Good. Another player approaches and faces the mockery … flag launched. It is not right. That will not stop the narrative of the favoritism of the flag of Kansas City, “said another user.
Another said: 'The referees fail the flag over Kelce to make fun and then catch Phillips when they provide support. An referee is there. When has the NFL allowed one player to face another opponent?
“Absolutely dying when Travis Kelce reacted to a slight blow (after talking shit with Damar Hamlin) as if they just firing,” said another user.
Another user said: “Haha, they will let Kelce do anything.” They do not mark it.
Mohamses's career put the Chiefs above 21-10. In the next series, the Bills Marshal, Josh Allen, shot a deep pass from TouchDown to Khalil Shakir to put the score 21-16 when he reached half after a two-point failed conversion.
