Travis Kelce, tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, is facing criticism ahead of Super Bowl 59 due to his actions during the AFC Championship Game against the Buffalo Bills. After a touchdown, Kelce allegedly taunted Bills’ safety Damar Hamlin, getting close to his face in a provocative manner. This led to a heated exchange between Kelce and Buffalo players, including a physical confrontation with defensive lineman Jordan Phillips, who was penalized for unnecessary roughness. Fans have called for Kelce to be penalized for taunting, questioning why he wasn’t fined. Despite the backlash, no official punishment has been announced, and Kelce is still set to play in the Super Bowl.
