Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce got into an altercation on the field during the game on Sunday, resulting in the pushing and shoving of multiple NFL players.
During the third quarter of the Chiefs vs Raiders game on Sunday afternoon, Travis Kelce, who is currently dating pop icon Taylor Swift, was seen picking up and shoving one of the Raiders' defensive players after the Raiders player tackled Kelce's teammate, Rashee Rice.
After Kelce was seen shoving the Raiders player off of Rice, other players from both teams came over and began pushing and shoving one another. The referees then had to get involved.

Taylor Swift has been a huge supporter of Kelce’s as she has made appearances at four different NFL games to cheer on Travis Kelce. The Chiefs tight end has a total of 34 catches for 432 yards and two touchdowns in the games that the “Love Story” singer has attended.
Yesterday, she was not in attendance, though the Chiefs did still win the game.
Travis Kelce Is ‘Protective’ Of Taylor Swift
A few weeks ago when on his “New Heights” podcast, which he hosts with his brother, Jason Kelce, a football player for the Philadelphia Eagles, Travis Kelce opened up about his New York City date with Taylor Swift, including that now-viral moment that he placed his hand on a security guard’s back while he was out with the “Bad Blood” singer.
Jason Kelce asked his brother if he had received any backlash for doing so, which is when the tight end clarified that he never pushed the security guard, he simply put his hand on his back to show respect.

The Philadelphia Eagles player then asked Travis Kelce, “Have you had to enact any security of your own? Do you feel like you’re a security guard when you are with Taylor?”
To which, the Kansas City Chiefs player responded, “I feel like whenever I’m on a date, I’m always having the sense that I’m a man in the situation. I’m protective, yeah, for sure. You always have to have that feeling or self-awareness, I guess.”
A source previously told Entertainment Tonight that at one point in the night, Kelce told Swift’s security guard that he could take over protecting her. “At one point, he actually told her security guard that he could step aside,” the source shared. “Like he’d take it from here.”
A different insider spoke to People, explaining that Kelce kept “going over and touching [Swift], putting his hand on her lower back or putting his hands on her waist, and then they would do a little kiss, and then they would go back to talking to whoever they were talking to."
The source added, "He kept checking in with her but gave her space to talk to other people in the room, both male and female, and he talked to a ton of people in the room, too.”
