Tony Romo accuses Travis Kelce of devious tactics in Chiefs win over Bills

Tony Romo accuses Travis Kelce of devious tactics in Chiefs win over Bills

CBS analyst Tony Romo called out Travis Kelce for ‘flopping’ while commentating on the Kansas City Chiefs’ win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night. 

Before the Chiefs secured a 32-29 AFC Championship victory to advance to their third straight Super Bowl, Kelce became embroiled in a heated altercation with Bills defensive lineman Jordan Phillips at the end of the first half.

The тιԍнт end was chirping at Bills safety Damar Hamlin – who was too late to tackle Patrick Mahomes before the Chiefs quarterback scampered through for a touchdown – when Phillips ran over and headʙuттed him to defend his teammate.

Officials immediately threw a flag and hit the Buffalo defender with an unnecessary roughness penalty, yet Kelce was not penalized for his instigating.

And while calling the action on CBS, Romo also accused the Chiefs star of throwing his head back and throwing his arms out dramatically to exaggerate the contact.

‘Travis Kelce knows how to get under your skin,’ the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback said on the broadcast.

‘And then Phillips comes in. He tries for the flop.’ 

Sunday’s scuffle was not the first time Phillips has been embroiled in a feud with the Kelce family, nevertheless.

Last year, he responded angrily to Travis’ brother Jason when the then Philadelphia Eagles offensive linemen accused him of deliberately trying to hurt Cam Jurgens in a November 2023 game.

Kelce said ‘bulls***’ Phillips wasn’t fined for taking Jurgens down when he had moved offside and said the Bills man was ‘trying to hurt’ his teammate.

Phillips angrily hit back at the older Kelce brother, saying: ‘You look at the tush push, he (Kelce) dives at somebody’s knees every play and tries to roll them up.

‘So for him to speak on somebody being dirty, I don’t think he has any right or any means to call for a fine when he does a whole bunch of stuff. I just think that’s kind of crazy for him to even mention that.

‘He is a well respected guy around the league for whatever reason.

‘Now he suddenly has a voice because he is on his brother’s podcast but the way he uses his voice, it doesn’t make any sense.

‘I’m 335 pounds – how am I going to stop regardless? How do I know the ball wasn’t going?

‘Even if they would have got that play off, it is either them hitting us or us hitting them. You can dish it out, obviously, but can’t take it? That is just soft.’

Travis and the Chiefs will now turn their attention to next month’s Super Bowl, where the Philadelphia Eagles will await them in New Orleans.
