Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce celebrated his historic touchdown catch last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers with a nod to the legendary Tony Gonzalez.
Kelce dunked the ball through the posts like Gonzalez did throughout his Chiefs career and Atlanta Falcons. The touchdown from Kelce was the 77th of his career, passing Gonzalez on the all-time list.

But the celebration hurt his wallet more than anything else.
Kelce was fined $14,069 for “use of props for unsportsmanlike conduct,” according to multiple reports. Fortunately, Gonzalez seemed to know the punishment was coming.
“lol! I got you,” Gonzalez wrote on Xu, while also praising the dunk.
Kelce didn’t have the typical season that Chiefs fans are used to seeing. He got off to an incredibly slow start, not picking up his first hit of the season until the Las Vegas Raiders game on October 27th.
