Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes found themselves in a heated pre-game encounter with legendary kicker Justin Tucker before the AFC Championship game against the Baltimore Ravens.
In a recent interview on Pat McAfee’s ESPN show, Kelce revealed that they were prepared to take a 15-yard taunting penalty if Tucker missed a late field goal.
‘Me and Patrick were on the sideline in the fourth quarter when Tucker had the chance to cut the lead to one score,’ Kelce said. ‘If he would have missed that field goal, we were 100 percent getting a 15-yard flag.’
