The Kansas City Chiefs faced a tense scene at Arrowhead Stadium following their 20-13 Christmas Day loss to the Denver Broncos.
While the defeat itself was a blow, a postgame altercation involving a team staff member and a broadcast cameraman has captured the public’s attention.
As Travis Kelce walked toward the locker room in what many speculate was his final home game, a Chiefs staffer intentionally blocked a Prime Video cameraman from filming the tight end.
Footage shown live on the broadcast captured the staffer shielding Kelce and telling the media crew, “I’ve told you. I’ve told you,” as he ushered them away.
Another man in a suit joined and shook his head at the camera. The situation left broadcasters puzzled as they told viewers the team would not “let a camera go down the hallway for whatever reason.”
The incident comes at a sensitive time for the franchise. With the Chiefs officially out of the playoffs and Patrick Mahomes sidelined with a torn ACL, emotions are running high.
Earlier this month, critics called out Kelce for refusing to speak to reporters after a loss to the Chargers where he told the press “Not today fellas, I’m not going to talk to you.”
Reflecting on the heavy atmosphere after the game Kelce told reporters “It’s a Christmas game, baby! There’s a whole lot of emotion, man.”
While he has not officially retired, he admitted, “I’ll let that be a decision I’ll make with my family, friends, the Chiefs organisation when the time comes.”
