Travis Kelce figured he would demonstrate to the official how to throw a penalty flag, so he removed the towel from his waistband and chucked it toward him.
And Kelce’s day was over.
“I knew when the ref took off his hat I was done,” Kelce said.
Kelce, who by the time he had tossed his towel had already received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, received another — the official who had tossed the flag used his cap for the second flag — and ejection.
He wasn’t around to see the Chiefs hang on to defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars 19-14 at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, and he regretted it.
