On Sunday night, the Denver Broncos soundly beat the Kansas City Chiefs by a score of 29-16.
Despite winning by only two scores, the Broncos absolutely beat up on KC, which didn’t seem to sit well with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. After a cheap shot hit on Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith, cameras caught Kelce expressing his feelings, in a manner of speaking.
WATCH:
Air jerk on national TV? Power move.
Needless to say, some folks were less than pleased with the gesture, but Kelce defended himself and his QB on Twitter.

Look, I get it. It was inappropriate blah, blah, blah. Did you even see the late hit on Alex Smith?
Kelce was just going to bat for his teammate, and I love everything about how he did it.
Also, when you’re 6’5″, weigh 255 pounds, run a 4.61 40-yard dash and do stuff like this, you can pretty much get away with anything you want to on the football field.
Big man’s got wheels.
