Mics Caught Travis Kelce Admitting to Sneaky Penalty in Chiefs' Win vs. Chargers

What seemed like a meaningless whip route turned into some hilarious Kelce content.

It's never a dull moment with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

During Sunday night's nailbiting Chiefs win over the Chargers, the tight end was able to turn a meaningless whip route—that was given no attention by Patrick Mahomes—into a classic mic'd up exchange between himself and safety Derwin James.

James, who was defending Kelce on the play, thought the 35-year-old pushed off and was looking for a penalty flag. Kelce hilariously agreed.

"He pushed!" James exclaimed as the ball was thrown the other way. "C'mon ref!"

"Hell yeah I did," Kelce admitted. "...You know my routes."

Derwin James: “He pushed, come on ref.”

Travis Kelce: “Hell yeah I did … you know my routes.”

Honesty is the best policy, I supposed.

Kelce caught five passes for 45 yards from Mahomes on the night, helping Kansas City to their ninth consecutive AFC West title. The Chiefs are now 12-1 on the season and will head to Cleveland next Sunday to take on the Browns.
