Travis Kelce just teed off on Justin Tucker over their pregame altercation at the AFC Championship … calling out the Baltimore Ravens kicker for acting like a “f***ing d***” and purposely getting in Patrick Mahomes‘ way during warmups.
Both sides of the tiff have continued to breathe life into the viral moment this week … with Tucker, Mahomes and now Kelce weighing in on it.
Travis didn’t hold back when discussing the spat on his “New Heights” podcast with his brother, Jason, on Wednesday … saying he could tell Tucker was playing around, but the Chiefs weren’t in the mood for tomfoolery.
Kelce explained there’s an unwritten rule when it comes to specialists — they make sure to stay out of their opponents’ way when prepping for a matchup. But, Tucker didn’t do that … which rubbed him the wrong way.
“If you want to be a f***ing d*** about it, you keep your helmet and your football and your f***ing kicking tee right where the quarterbacks are warming up and they’re dropping, eyes are looking left and they’ve got a helmet down by their feet,” Kelce said.
“If you’re not going to pick that up, I’ll happily move that for you.”
Of course, Kelce proved to be a man of his word … taking Tucker’s helmet and tossing it away from Mahomes on Sunday.

Kelce apologized for his actions … admitting Tucker winked at him during the altercation to indicate he was just messing around, but reiterated he was not in a joking mood.
“If you’re gonna be a d*** I promise you, I can one-up you every time.”

Despite the back-and-forth, Kelce praised Tucker as one of the best to ever do it … but made it clear he better not come at his teammates like that again.
