Yes, Travis Kelce spilled some tea over the pre-AFC title game incident in which he and Patrick Mahomes had to forcibly move some of Justin Tucker’s equipment while the Baltimore Ravens kicker warmed up right where Mahomes was doing the same.
We knew — along with the Chiefs teammates — that it was some pre-playoff contest mind games, although Tucker claimed he didn’t do anything different than what he’s done the past 12 years of his career.
On the latest New Heights podcast, Kelce and his brother Jason broke down the incident around the 23-minute mark. Travis explained that both teams have their own sides of the field, and specialists like kickers get a chance to kick to both sets of goal posts. The unwritten rule is to generally stay on your own side of the field.
“If you want to be a [expletive]ing [different expletive] about it, you keep your helmet and your football and your [expletive]ing kicking tee right where the quarterbacks are warming up,” Travis remarked. “If you’re not going to pick that up, I’ll happily move that for you.”
Travis went on to say Tucker was winking at him, so they knew what was up. He finished by apologizing for “[taking] it to a level that you didn’t think it could get to,” but added that “if you’re going to be an [expletive], I promise you I can one-up you every time.”
