Chiefs’ Travis Kelce, Xavier Worthy both fined $14,069 for TD celebrations

The Kansas City Chiefs locked up the top seed in the AFC and a first-round bye in the playoffs after overcoming a difficult December schedule. The Chiefs won three games in 11 days, culminating in Week 17’s victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Kansas City put up 29 points in the game as Travis Kelce and Xavier Worthy both had eight receptions and a touchdown. Both players were also fined in the Christmas Day matchup.

 

 

The All-Pro tight end was hit with a $14,069 fine for unsportsmanlike conduct, per insider Tom Pelissero on X. Kelce dunked over the crossbar as a tribute to former Chiefs’ great Tony Gonzalez.

The 12th-year veteran passed Gonzalez, setting the franchise receiving touchdown record against the Steelers. It was Kelce’s 77th career TD catch as well as his 1,000th reception. After the game he reminded Gonzalez of his promise to pay the fine for the homage.

Worthy was also fined by the league after scoring against Pittsburgh. The Chiefs’ rookie wideout will have to cough up $14,069 and it’s unlikely that Tony Gonzalez helps him out. Worthy thought he found a loophole around the NFL’s stringent finger guns celebration crackdown as he lifted up his jersey, pretending to show a gun in his waistband, per Pelissero on X.
