Travis Kelce faces NFL fine after Chiefs lose to | NFL News

Despite celebrating a important achievement on Monday night time, Travis Kelce left the Kansas City Chiefs’ match against the Jacksonville Jaguars with a sense of disappointment after a dramatic late defeat. With a mere 23 seconds remaining, the Jaguars snatched the lead from the Chiefs when Trevor Lawrence improbably discovered the endzone, stumbling twice after taking the snap for a go-ahead landing. This made the rating 31-28 to Jacksonville following the additional level.

Patrick Mahomes’ last-ditch hail mary attempt fell short, leaving the Chiefs at 2-3 while the Jaguars superior to 4-1 for the season. Monday’s sport also noticed Kelce make seven catches for 61 yards and a landing from eight targets. Just days after the release of his fiancee Taylor Swift’s latest album, he turned the Chiefs’ all-time chief in all-purpose yards, surpassing the earlier report held by Dante Hall at 12,356.

However, despite no penalty being called during the match, Kelce may face a fine in the wake of the loss to the Jaguars for an uncalled blindside block. In the second quarter, Mahomes related with vast receiver Hollywood Brown for a 16-yard catch and run.

Kelce, who was downfield forward of Brown, turned back and headed in direction of his team-mate to strive and present a block. The tight end grabbed security Andrew Wingard’s shoulder before delivering a hit to linebacker Devin Lloyd.

Despite Brown’s 16-yard gain down the sideline, a flag was not raised during the play. However, Lloyd’s hit may have been categorised as a blindside block, which might have resulted in a 15-yard penalty.

The NFL can retrospectively fine Kelce. A first offence for a blindside block may end up in a fine of up to £13,000 ($17,389), while a second offence can increase that quantity to £17,500 ($23,186). If Kelce is fined, it would not be his first this season.

During the Chiefs’ Week 2 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, he was fined £11,000 ($14,491) for an ‘obscene gesture’. Throughout his profession, Kelce has been fined a whole of 10 occasions, accumulating a mixed fine of £101,000 ($133,918).

Kansas City now faces the difficult job of recovering next week on Sunday Night Football against the Detroit Lions. After an opening day defeat to the Green Bay Packers, the Lions have scored 52 factors against the Chicago Bears, 38 factors against the Baltimore Ravens, 34 factors against the Cleveland Browns and 37 against the Cincinnati Bengals in their last 4 video games.

The Chiefs are at present third in the AFC West, trailing the Los Angeles Chargers and Denver Broncos, who both have a 3-2 report for the 12 months.
