Travis Kelce gets into a scuffle during the Chiefs’ win over the Raiders as Taylor Swift fans are left in awe of the Kansas City star: ‘He CAN fight’
Travis Kelce has proven to be a good teammate, after butting heads with Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Amik Robertson during the Kansas City Chiefs’ comeback win on Sunday evening.
The tussle happened with a little over 10 minutes left in the third quarter of the AFC West rivalry game, when Robertson appeared to have put all of his weight on Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice after an offensive play from the visiting team at Allegiant Stadium.
Kelce, 34, went over to push off his opponent in a bid to help out his teammate, but he was then quickly confronted not only Robertson, but also another Raiders player.

Kelce didn’t seem to back down, however, and had to be restrained by several of his Chiefs teammates while sharing some words to one of the game’s officials.
‘travis Kelce CAN fight,’ tweeted a Taylor Swift fan in awe over the Chiefs’ No. 87.
‘i don’t wanna hear “travis kelce can you fight” anymore,’ shared another.
‘The way he just threw an entire man off his teammate with what looked like a slight nudge… damn,’ wrote a different ‘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 the Chiefs coach after Sunday’s win, passing Hank Stram for the team record.
That also made Reid the first NFL coach to hold 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 it by halftime and pulled away after that. Isiah Pacheco rushed for two touchdowns, and Rashee Rice caught eight passes for 107 yards and a TD.
Mahomes passed for 298 yards and two touchdowns to rally past the Raiders 31-17.
