The Kansas City Chiefs secured a 32-29 victory over the Josh Allen-led Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship Game and now stand a chance to make history as the only team in NFL history to complete a three-peat and win three straight Super Bowls.
Even though the Chiefs took the conference title home, it was close, consisting of many nail-biting moments, including tight end Travis Kelce’s trash-talking moment with Bills safety Damar Hamlin.
Cowboys CB Drops Blunt Reaction to Travis Kelce’s Missed Call by Refs
The Bills vs. Chiefs AFC showdown was anticipated to be a big one, and it was. One of the bigger moments that caught fans’ attention was when Kelce was caught in a heated moment with Hamlin.
The on-field argument occurred in the second quarter when Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes extended the team’s lead to 11 points. Hamlin tackled Mahomes in the end zone, which was followed by a gloating moment by Kelce, who ran up to the Buffalo safety and was seen yelling in his face for the hit.
Other Chiefs and Bills players ran up to get closer to the situation, including defensive tackle Jordan Phillips, who took a shove to Kelce. This was followed by Kelce’s slightly exaggerated reaction, hoping for a penalty.
The Kansas City TE was successful in drawing a flag against Phillips, which sparked a major controversy among players, fans, and analysts.
Reacting to the viral video, Dallas Cowboys cornerback Jourdan Lewis took to X (previously known as Twitter) to share his honest opinion on the matter.
The post that Lewis was responding to mentioned that Kelce is the only player in the league who doesn’t get flagged for trash-talking or charging another player, hinting at potential bias.
Lewis added, “All things considered this is crazy as hell.”

“All things considered” goes back to the controversy that sparked ahead of the AFC showdown when ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on the league’s potential rule change surrounding NFL replay.
The article and the tweet were based on the conversations after the referees for the Chiefs-Houston Texans matchup when various fans and analysts debated that Mahomes should’ve been penalized for a couple of plays in the first quarter of the game.
Chiefs supporters, meanwhile, including Modern Family star Eric Stonestreet, former player Mitchell Schwartz, and even Kansas City’s mayor, boldly shared their thoughts on the matter.
