Travis Kelce’s gesture towards Bills fans caught on live TV after Chiefs star takes massive hit in loss
The 36-year-old’s fiancee Taylor Swift swerved the AFC showdown
KANSAS City Chiefs star Travis Kelce couldn’t resist a subtle swipe at the Bills Mafia during Sunday’s loss in Buffalo.
The veteran tight end, 36, was unable to inspire the Chiefs to victory at a raucous Highmark Stadium.
Kelce reeled in four catches for 66 yards and no touchdowns in the 28-21 defeat.
But it was a gesture made to the Bills supporters midway through the contest that got social media talking.
Kelce was on the end of a brutal hit to the chest from linebacker Cole Bishop late in the second quarter.
The 36-year-old was slow to get up to his feet in the endzone.
Chiefs trainers rushed on to help the ten-time Pro Bowler, who was pushed to the ground by Terrel Bernard after the tackle.
With three seconds left on the clock before the half, Kelce limped gingerly back to the sideline.
He watched kicker Harrison Butker convert a field goal before heading towards the locker room for the half.
Kelce was spotted on TV cameras cupping his ears to the Bills fans as they directed abuse his way.
‘LUCKY TO HAVE YOU’
“I love it, I love it,” he appeared to respond, with boos ringing out around the stadium.
“Buffalo bills fans make Philly fans look hospitable,” wrote one fan in response to the footage.
“I wouldn’t tease that crowd,” warned another.
“3 rings vs 0 rings,” said a third, referencing Kelce’s three Super Bowl titles.
“No Bills fans should be talking s*** until they beat the Chiefs in the playoffs once,” argued a fourth.
“Travis Kelce’s gonna have one hell of a time sneezing this week,” laughed a fifth.
Kelce was back on the field for the opening snap of the third quarter despite the big hit.
But fiancee Taylor Swift was nowhere to be seen in the stands following recent security fears.
The Chiefs have now dropped to 5-4 on the season and have a bye week upcoming.
Bills quarterback Josh Allen was the home hero on the night.
He completed 23 of 26 passes for 273 yards and three touchdowns as Buffalo improved to 6-2.
“They’re the pinnacle of what you want your franchise to be,” Allen said after the win.
“They’ve been that for the last eight years.
“Any time you get a chance to play the best and you can come away with a victory, you’re going to be feeling pretty good.”
