Travis Kelce has proven to be a good teammate after clashing with Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Amik Robertson during the Kansas City Chiefs’ comeback win on Sunday night.
The fight took place with just over 10 minutes left in the third quarter of the AFC West rivalry game, when Robertson appeared to have put all his weight on Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice following an offensive play by the visiting team at the Allegiant Stage.
Kelce, 34, went over to push his opponent away in an attempt to help his teammate, but was then quickly confronted not only by Robertson, but another Raiders player.
However, Kelce did not appear to back down and had to be restrained by some of his Chiefs teammates as he spoke a few words to one of the game officials.
“travis Kelce CAN fight,” a Taylor Swift fan tweeted in awe about the Chiefs’ No. 87.

“I don’t want to hear anymore ‘Travis Kelce can you fight?’” another shared.
“The way he just threw a whole man off his teammate with what seemed like a little push… damn,” another “Swiftie” wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Against the Raiders (5-7), Kelce had six receptions for 91 yards and no touchdowns.
Despite his lack of availability in the end zone, Kelce became the fastest tight end ever to reach 11,000 yards.

What’s more is that Andy Reid won his 125th career game as Chiefs coach after Sunday’s win, passing Hank Stram for the team record.
That also made Reid the first NFL coach to achieve that distinction for two teams. He won 130 games in Philadelphia.
Kansas City (8-3) fell behind 14-0 in the second quarter against Las Vegas, but tied the score at halftime and then pulled away. Isiah Pacheco rushed for two touchdowns and Rashee Rice caught eight passes for 107 yards and a touchdown.
Mahomes passed for 298 yards and two touchdowns to edge past the Raiders 31-17.
