Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Justin Tucker: Equipment Toss during Pregame Warmups

"Chiefs' Mahomes, Kelce cause uproar by disrupting Ravens' Tucker's warmup. NFL fans outraged at disrespectful act before AFC Championship."

The AFC Championship Game saw a fierce battle for field position that started long before the Sunday kickoff. The Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce were at the forefront of the skirmish, engaging in a heated exchange with Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker during warmups on the field.

Mahomes and Kelce disrupted Tucker's warmup routine, with Mahomes kicking his tee out of place and Kelce tossing aside Tucker's equipment. Video footage of the incidents was shared on social media by James Palmer of NFL Network, sparking reactions from former NFL players.

The incident drew strong reactions from former NFL players on social media, with Robert Griffin III expressing disbelief at the Chiefs' actions and Rich Ohrnberger defending Mahomes and Kelce's actions as justified. However, former kicker Lawrence Tynes criticized the behavior, calling it a bad look and emphasizing the need for mutual respect between teams on the field.

The tension between the players sets the stage for a potentially dramatic last-second field goal attempt by Tucker, adding an extra layer of anticipation to the AFC Championship Game.
