FINES ROUNDUP: KELCE DOCKED $11,025 FOR OBSCENE GESTUREFINES ROUNDUP: KELCE DOCKED $11K FOR OBSCENE GESTURE
Chiefs coach Andy Reid called tight end Travis Kelce's obscene gesture in Sunday's loss to the Broncos an "immature" display. The NFL doesn't disagree.
#Chiefs TE Travis Kelce was fined $11,025 for his, um, ya know, when he kinda did that… that thing he did. Wasn’t appropriate.

Kelce tweeted after the game that the gesture -- which my bosses would rather I not describe -- was aimed at Von Miller after the Broncos pass rusher triggered a roughing the passer penalty against Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith.
The flag cost Denver yards, but Kelce's outburst cost him some serious scratch.
Other fines we're tracking, per Rapoport:
- Rams punter Johnny Hekkerstruck gold on Friday, but not Arizona's Drew Butler, who was docked $8,268 for grabbing Devin Hester's facemask in Sunday's loss to the Falcons.
- Bills linebacker Nigel Bradham was fined $16,537 for unnecessary roughness after striking an opponent with his helmet in Buffalo's lopsided win over the Browns.
