NFL Clears Travis Kelce of Super Bowl Fine After Heated Moment with Eagles’ Davis
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce found himself in a fiery moment during the Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles, but the NFL has decided not to penalize him. Kelce, who had already earned a fine for his altercation with Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin after the AFC Championship game, was once again involved in a heated exchange—this time with Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis.
After taking a hard hit, Kelce charged toward Davis and pushed him in frustration. However, the NFL did not flag the play for taunting or unnecessary roughness, and following an internal review, Kelce was cleared of any fine. This decision came just after the NFL announced fines for two other players: Eagles defensive tackle Milton Williams ($14,069 for spiking the football after a fumble recovery) and linebacker Jalyx Hunt ($5,690 for a “violent gesture”).
Kelce’s moment with Davis became a viral topic, with some fans criticizing the star tight end for taunting. Others, however, pointed out that the Eagles defense seemed to have been well-prepared for Kelce’s antics, maintaining discipline throughout the game. Despite his attempt to provoke, Kelce’s actions did not appear to rattle the Eagles, who dominated the Chiefs in the 40-22 victory.
This controversy is likely to stir up further debate over how the league handles player behavior on the field, especially for high-profile players like Kelce.
