Chiefs' Travis Kelce fined for dunking ball over crossbar after TD vs. Jets

The Kansas City Chiefs stomped the New York Jets 35-9 last week, pushing their record to 7-1. It wasn't the score that caused a commotion, however. It was Travis Kelce's touchdown celebration late in the second quarter.

Kelce extended Kansas City's lead to 20-9 on a shovel pass from Patrick Mahomes, and he couldn't help but dunk the football over the crossbar in celebration.

NFL players aren't fined as badly as they used to be for touchdown celebrations, but the league obviously thought Kelce's dunk was a little excessive. As a result, he has been fined $12,500, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport:
