87 made that very clear. Kelce helped the Chiefs open their season with a dominant 31-10 victory over Denver , finishing with three catches for 71 yards, including a 59-yard reception. Because of a glove, before the Kansas City Chiefs’ season opener against the Denver Broncos, Kelce found himself in an awkward moment with a fan while making his way toward the locker room at Arrowhead Stadium, and it all happened.
Travis Kelce was ready to get back to football, but one fan seemed to have other plans. Kelce had taken off his gloves during pregame and was passing through fans along the sideline, where they were reaching out for high-fives and fist bumps. Then one fan appeared to make a move for the glove in Kelce’s hand. That did not go down well. Kelce quickly pulled his hand back and swatted the fan’s hand away, visibly reacting to what had just happened. The fan then backed off, while Kelce continued toward the tunnel. It was over almost as quickly as it started, but not before someone captured the whole thing on camera. And, naturally, the internet had plenty to say. Some viewers believed the fan may have mistaken Kelce’s gesture as an offer to give away the glove. Kelce might be reaching toward the crowd while still holding the glove, so it’s possible the fan simply thought the Chiefs star was handing it over. One social-media reaction even suggested the fan thought Kelce was giving it to him, while another acknowledged that the gesture could have caused some confusion. Still, Kelce clearly wasn’t interested in letting the glove go. And once the fan reached for it, No. Join conversation Share your thoughts in the comments Be respectful · TOI community guidelines Whatever happened with the glove was quickly forgotten once the game began. So the bizarre fan interaction ended up being just a tiny blip before Kelce got down to business. But the clip has given fans something else to talk about, and judging by the reactions, people have very different opinions on who was actually in the wrong. Was the fan simply confused? Or did he really think he could just snatch Travis Kelce’s glove ? Either way, Kelce’s reaction made one thing pretty obvious: That glove was NOT up for grabs.
