The AFC Championship between the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs was a hard-fought battle.
As the game went on, things started to get more and more chippy.
While some level of chippiness is to be expected, these teams seemed to take it a few steps further.
Judging by the pregame theatrics, fans should have seen this coming.
There was a video that surfaced of Travis Kelce throwing Justin Tucker’s helmet and footballs in pregame warmups.
Mahomes and Kelce felt that he was infringing on their practice space, but Tucker believed he was in the correct spot.
A video was recently shared by the NFL on CBS via Dov Kleiman, where Tucker addressed this situation.
“It’s silly we’re talking about it or needing to address it,” Tucker said.

After a loss of this magnitude, it was clear that Tucker didn’t want to talk about what happened before the game.
Tucker did let on that this moment “was not a big deal,” adding that his routine before this game was the same as it has been for 12 years in the NFL.
He seemed to be able to let this roll off his back, and it seems that it didn’t affect him or his mentality during the game.
Kelce and Mahomes have not received any sort of public discipline for their actions, something that Ravens fans have been calling for.
