While running routes, Kelce’s opponent was wearing a microphone and picked up a brief conversation.
Kelce beat his opponent on the route, but didn’t get the ball from Patrick Mahomes.
That didn’t stop the cornerback, Derwin James Jr., from being upset that Kelce might have committed offensive pass interference.
“He pushed, come on ref,” James said.
Kelce was quick to respond to the allegations, admitting to bending the rules.
“Hell yea I did,” he said.
“You know my routes.”
NFL fans weren’t happy about this though, and called Kelce out for cheating on social media.
“The entire team is just cheating and not even hiding it and no one does anything,” one fan said.
“He pushes on almost every play and never gets called,” another fan said.

Travis Kelce sends message over Patrick Mahomes ‘frustration’ and ‘not being on same page’ with Kansas City Chiefs star
“Such a rigged sport,” a third fan said.
“Dude just admitted to getting away with it,” a fourth fan said.
“NFL CHIEFS at its best,” a fifth fan said.
Kelce’s “cheating” helped the Chiefs pull out a last-minute win over the Chargers on Sunday.
They completed a late comeback to win the game 19-17 on a field goal.
‘Well-talked-about personal life’
Travis Kelce was asked about his relationship with Taylor Swift during an interview with Good Morning America.
But the Kansas City Chiefs tight end gave a cagey response.
“When you have good family and friends around you, it makes that aspect of life that much easier,” Kelce told GMA.
“I’ve always been a very grounded guy. It might not come off that way when I’m playing football.
“But off the field, I just want to be a genuine person. I try not to get too far down the road.
“Because you never know what opportunities are going to present themselves.”
Kelce didn’t have his best game, catching five passes for 45 yards without a touchdown.
He led the Chiefs in receiving yards for the game.
Mahomes didn’t have his best game either, throwing for 210 yards with just one touchdown.
The stats don’t matter though, as the Chiefs won the game and moved to 12-1 on the season.
