The NFL has announced a punishment for Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce stemming from a gesture during last week’s home game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Travis Kelce was fined $14,491 by the league for unsportsmanlike conduct and an obscene gesture directed toward the Eagles’ sidelines in the third quarter.

Before the start of the season, NFL officiating and rules analyst Walt Anderson warned teams that they would be cracking down on “unsportsmanlike gestures” during the 2025 season.

Star defensive tackle Jalen Carter was ejected for spitting on Dak Prescott in the Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 1 home opener over the Dallas Cowboys. The NFL subsequently issued a $57,222 fine to Carter as well.

Additionally, Tom Pelissero reports that Cowboys wide receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens were each fined $14,491 for unsportsmanlike conduct and violent gestures against the New York Giants after a touchdown.

The Chiefs wound up losing 20-17 to the Eagles last week, dropping the franchise to 0-2 for the first time since the 2014 season. The Chiefs are badly missing wide receivers Rashee Rice (suspension) and Xavier Worthy (sidelined with a shoulder injury), and the rest of the offense hasn’t picked up the slack in their absence.

The 35-year-old Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift announced their engagement last month, so morale was super high for the future Hall of Famer coming into this season. But he’s not used to sluggish starts, and tomorrow’s game against the New York Giants is essentially a must-win.

Kelce has six catches for 108 yards and a touchdown over Kansas City’s first two games. The good news is that he has a favorable matchup against a Giants defense that has allowed 30.5 points per game.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
