‘It’s tough’ – Travis Kelce addresses flag controversies after Kansas City win over Miami Dolphins

Travis Kelce addressed flag controversies following the Kansas City Chiefs' victory over the Miami Dolphins. The game saw 18 total flags, with nine penalties for each team, exceeding the league average. Kelce spoke about this on his New Heights podcast alongside his brother, Jason. They both acknowledged that penalties disrupt momentum and end drives, making it challenging for the teams to maintain focus.

Jason shared that he had spoken with the Senior Correspondent of Analytics, who revealed that 14 touchdowns have been erased by penalties this season, making it the fourth-highest since 2000. Seven penalties alone on Sunday, which is the eighth-highest individual week since 2000, according to Jason. The Chiefs' tight end expressed that it is tough for everyone involved, as they all try to do their jobs while dealing with the referees' decisions.
