Travis Kelce took a hit — and then hit back at the Bills Mafia!
The Kansas City Chiefs star was pounded on a tackle in the end zone, just before the half of the Chiefs-Buffalo Bills game on Sunday, Nov. 2.
After Bills safety Cole Bishop rammed the tight end with a helmet to the chest, Kelce hit the deck and was slow to get up.
In footage from the moment, Kelce was then seen walking to the locker room a few minutes before the end of the second quarter.
On the way, he jawed with fans at Highmark Stadium, who were heard cheering in reaction to Kelce’s possible injury.
“He keeps saying, ‘I love it, I love it,’ as they give him a little business,” play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz said, referring to the crowd’s behavior.

Later, CBS sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson confirmed that Kelce was cleared to return to the field after being checked out by trainers.
The Chiefs star, 36, finished the game — which the Chiefs dropped, 28-21 — with four receptions and 66 yards.

Kelce has rarely been sidelined due to injuries over the course of his 13-season NFL career. In 2023, he missed the season-opener after developing a bone bruise during practice; it was the first time he missed a game due to injury since his rookie season in 2013.
The loss brought the Chiefs’ record to 5-4 ahead of the bye week. The team returns to action in Denver against the Broncos on Sunday, Nov. 16.
