Travis Kelce spoke about a serious claim that came out after another NFL game turned tense. On Thanksgiving Day, the Kansas City Chiefs played the Dallas Cowboys in Dallas and lost 31-28. The loss pushed the Chiefs to a 6-6 record. Even after that close game, another matchup from the weekend drew even bigger attention. On Sunday in Nashville, Tennessee Titans running back Julius Chestnut said Jacksonville Jaguars punter Logan Cooke told him, “I’m going to kill you,” during their Week 14 game. The Jaguars beat the Titans 25-3, but the fight after a tackle became the top story from the field.
Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce react to Julius Chestnut’s claim about Logan Cooke
Travis Kelce talked about the moment on his “New Heights” podcast on Wednesday. He spoke with Jason Kelce and said players hear wild things on the field all the time. Travis said, laughing, “A Tennessee player said the Jacksonville punter told him he’d kill him… Jags players, you guys are in the head of the opponent.” He joked that some punters “look creepy enough” to make the comment sound real, even if it was not. Jason Kelce then shared his own view and said most of these lines are not meant as real threats. “You’re not being serious. You’re not actually going to kill him,” Jason said as he explained how emotional games can get. He added that players often say things in anger but never mean actual harm.The claim came after Julius Chestnut made a hard tackle on Logan Cooke during a return to Nashville. Logan Cooke charged toward Julius Chestnut after the hit, and players from both sides stepped in. Officials threw a flag for unnecessary roughness on Julius Chestnut. The penalty could lead to a fine if the league decides the hit was too much.Right now, the NFL is still looking at the play. The league already reviewed the tackle but has not said whether it will investigate the spoken threat. Julius Chestnut stands by his claim, while Logan Cooke has not publicly confirmed any of the words. Players from both the Titans and the Jaguars call it a heated moment, but the league will decide if more action is needed.Also Read: Taylor Swift Reveals A Private Phone Call With Travis Kelce As Her End Of An Era Docuseries Trailer Takes A Sudden Turn
