Travis Kelce's groundbreaking catch on Christmas Day resulted in a fine.
The tight end's 77th career touchdown catch in Kansas City's win over Pittsburgh moved him past Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez on the Chiefs' all-time record.
After the touchdown, Taylor Swift's famous boyfriend Kelsey dunked the ball over the goal post, which was against NFL rules.
The league announced Saturday that it had fined Kelce $14,069 for “unsportsmanlike use of props.” According to multiple reports.
Gonzalez, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2019, thanked Kelce for his recognition and offered to pay the fine.
Swift, who was not present for Kelce's milestone touchdown, found time to post on Instagram on the Chiefs' account and the account of his girlfriend and brother Jason's New Heights podcast, where he praised Travis' accomplishment. I liked it.
Before the league made it illegal, Gonzalez dunked into the goal post after every touchdown during his career, and many other receivers at the time imitated it.

But in 2013, Saints tight end Jimmy Graham threw a goalpost off balance on a dunk, causing a delay in the game.
The following offseason, the NFL made this move a penalty, also known as the “Jimmy Graham Rule.”
Gonzalez played for the Chiefs from 1997 to 2008, and Kelce joined Kansas City in 2013.
