Travis Kelce has been known to be a hot head on the football field, and he stayed true to his reputation Thursday night.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end got a little frustrated after he was tackled during the third quarter of the NFL’s season-opening game against the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium, and he let his frustration get the best of him.
After Kelce was tackled, he took out his anger on Patriots linebacker Kyle Van Noy by sticking the football right where Van Noy would rather he didn’t.

Ouch.
And, of course, Twitter had a lot of jokes.
That Travis Kelce penalty was … nuts. Goodnight, everyone.

The tight end was hit with a 15-yard penalty for taunting.
Perhaps he hung out with Draymond Green in the offseason.
